The 2010 season has been one of the most productive in recent memory. Averaging 247.3 rushing yards per game, Wisconsin holds the No. 12 rushing attack in the country. No other team in the country can match the three 800-yard rushers that the Badgers have. In the last three weeks of the regular season, Wisconsin rushed for 1,024 yards and scored 17 rushing touchdowns.

Last year, under Settle's tutelage, sophomore running back John Clay earned Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year honors. Clay rushed for 1,517 yards to lead the Big Ten and rank eighth in the country. He was just the second sophomore in school history to rush for more than 1,500 yards and his single-season total ranks ninth in school history. Clay's nine 100-yard rushing games, tied for the fifth-most in the country and the fourth-best in school history. He also led the Big Ten with 18 rushing touchdowns, a mark that was tied for seventh in the country and tied for fourth in school history.

James White became the seventh Badger to be named Big Ten Freshman of the Year. White leads the Badgers with 1,029 rushing yards this season, third in the country among freshmen. His 6.95 yards per carry is on pace to break Wisconsin's single-season record and ranks second in the country among running backs with at least 100 carries. White was also a second-team All-Big Ten choice by the media and an honorable mention selection by the coaches.

Developing Fundamental Running Back Skills

with John Settle,

University of Wisconsin Running Backs Coach

Get the most out of your running backs on each play.

The running back position is the ultimate skill position. The back not only must be able to see the hole and run to day light, but also block and catch the football as well. In this instructional football DVD, John Settle guides you through how the training regiment he uses at Wisconsin.

Settle uses extensive game footage to highlight and illustrate essential skills.

Coach Settle's instruction falls into three areas of training the running back:

Neck Up - This area features the mental side of being a running back: Communication, knowing the playbook, understanding offensive adjustments, getting a pre-snap look at the defense, understanding defenses, and more.

Waste Up - The waist up focuses on shoulders and hands. The alignment of the shoulders, ball security, upper body strength, pass protection, yards after contact, and more. Settle shows you the five pressure points for holding the football, which will limit turnovers.

Waste Down - The waist down involves executing footwork for the play call, hip flexibility to win the one-on-one battles, and the importance of lower body strength to run through and pull out of tackles.

PASS BLOCKING

Coach Settle examines pass blocking and the factors that control the spot of contact. Settle breaks both the tailback and fullback positions down in regard to shoulder contact, hand placement and footwork to teach blocking fundamentals. He explains various drills to help teach the zone run game, gap schemes, outside runs, draw run game, sprint draw, as well as pass protection.

CATCHING

In the final section, Settle focuses on pass catching, including the inside route and screen action. He discusses Wisconsin's catch, tuck and cover technique, which will help train you backs to catch balls in the middle of the field and in traffic and to take care of the football.

Running backs are a vital part of any offensive system and this DVD will give you some ideas as well as drills to use to improve your effectiveness of the running backs
