Double Your Winch Power

An electric winch is a powerful recovery tool. Used correctly, it provides massive amounts of power to pull out your ATV or truck. With the right tools and rigging, you can pull up to two or even three times the maximum rating of your winch. The key to maximum power is knowing how to use your recovery equipment to its full potential. With these recovery tips, you'll be winching your way out of even the toughest spots just like the pros.

For starters, let's focus on rigging up a single line pull. Whenever possible, choose an anchor point directly in line with the stuck vehicle. A straight line pull is more efficient than an indirect pull. If the only option is to winch at an angle, use a snatch block to guide the cable directly into the winch and prevent it from stacking up on one side of the drum. Attach the cable as low as possible on the anchor point for the best leverage. The base of a tree, stump, or rock is generally the strongest point.

If you want to double the power of your winch, or if the anchor point is too close to let out enough cable for a strong pull, use a snatch block to double the line. Using a snatch block will double your load capacity and will allow you to spool out more cable to reach the maximum rating of your winch. For even more power, you can rig up a triple line pull. However, use caution with double and triple lines. As the strength of the pull increases, so does the amount of stress placed on each rigging point. Make sure your anchor point is rock solid and can withstand the force of the pull.

The length of cable you spool out also affects the power of the pull. All electric winches are rated based on only one full wrap left on the drum. The less line you reel out, the less power you'll get. For a maximum power pull, unwind enough cable to leave only one layer on the drum. If your anchor point is too close to spool out enough rope, double the line with a snatch block.

Another trick to squeeze the most power out of your winch is to gas the stuck vehicle. A rolling load fuels the momentum of the pull and eases the strain on your winch. Before starting the recovery, dig out around the tires or build a rock ramp to give the stuck vehicle some traction as it begins to move.

As your winch works harder, it generates more heat. In order to prevent overheating the motor, take breaks if you're pulling over a long distance and let the motor cool before starting again. Winching places a heavy load on your electrical system, so keep your engine running to prevent a complete drain. In some cases, a stock battery may not provide enough juice to power a maximum pull. Some wheelers swap the stock battery for a heavy duty one, or they install a second battery solely for recovery.

Your winch has incredible potential if you know how to get the most power out of it. With these advanced winching techniques, you'll have a few more tricks up your sleeve when the pulling gets tough.

2008 Capital One Bowl - Showcase Bowl Turns Into a Yawner As Georgia Tips Michigan State, 24-12

No. 16-ranked Georgia (9-3) and No. 19-ranked Michigan State (9-3) both came into the Capital One Bowl with the requisite hype. After all, when you get past the 5 featured BCS bowl games, the next best bowl game among the 34 being played this year is the Capital One Bowl. Unfortunately, what could have been a great game became a yawner with the Spartans on the losing end, 24-12, New Year's Day (1-1-09).

Mark Dantonio's Michigan State players led 6-3 at the half, not because of a tremendous defensive effort but because the Spartans could not block for their star running back Javon Ringer. MSU's offensive line play was horrid and never improved. Ringer went nowhere about 1,000 miles an hour (47 yards on 20 carries). He did, however, score another touchdown, giving him a school-record 22 on the season.

Georgia's star running back, Knowshon Moreno went nowhere as well (62 yards on 23 carries). So much for the big time running match-up. Moreno, a sophomore is already talking about going pro.

Georgia's star quarterback, junior Matthew Stafford, did not play well in the first half but did eventually complete 20-of-31 for 250 yards and 3 touchdowns. After the game he was busy talking about whether he would enter the NFL Draft or not.

Spartan QB Brian Hoyer, a star only in the eyes of the blind, was, well Hoyer-that is to say, hardly impressive on his best day. Not every team can have a great quarterback.

Having said that, it seems that an inordinate amount of college QBs are convinced the NFL owners are going to put out millions for their future services. My message to the QBs who are already convinced of their own future greatness: Good luck and God speed. What are agents whispering into the ears of these naïve kids?

Georgia really controlled both sides of the line in a game that could have brought the peanut vendors to tears. It seemed that fans on either side were not enjoying the game. In truth, it was not a great offensive game or a great defensive game; it was really a lot of nothing.

The Bulldogs started this season as the No. 1 pick in the preseason AP Top 25 Poll. While their season did not live up to their expectations, the Bulldogs did finish 10-3 and coach Mark Richt did notch his 6th win in 8 bowl appearances.

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio is making substantial progress. His Spartans learned how to finish some games this year. His first two years has netted two bowl appearances, stepping up from last year's Champs Sports Bowl to the much more prestigious Capital One Bowl and better competition.

Dantonio needs more and better players at every position and needs speed at every position even more. Speed kills and Michigan State does not even have a license to do so yet, much less the talent.

College Football - Alabama & Florida Barely Win, 12 Others Put on Muscle Shirts & Strut Their Stuff

There was only one real upset in college football's 8th week of play as 12 of the 20 top-ranked teams put on their muscle shirts and showed what they have, a sure sign that teams have begun to stabilize for their last 4 games.

Only 21st-ranked Texas Tech was caught flat-footed at home by unranked Texas A&M, 52-30. The Red Raiders (now 5-3) were favored by 22 and lost by 22, a 44-point negative swing that sent Texas Tech reeling. The Texas A&M Aggies meant business, piling up a 38-22 lead after 3 quarters, and then outscoring the Red Raiders 14-8 in the 4th quarter.

Texas A&M was trounced 62-14 last week by Kansas State and decided to take it out on Texas Tech. The high score was no real surprise; both teams came in as scoring machines-Tech was ranked 2nd nationally at 41 ppg, and A&M was 19th at 33 ppg. A&M piled up 559 yards of offense and Tech 520; the contest was strictly offensive with a combined 1,079 yards of offense. Exciting, but not good football.

One other upset occurred when unranked Clemson hung in and hung on for a 40-37 overtime upset of 8th-ranked Miami (FL) on the Hurricanes' home field. Miami (now 5-2) was favored 5. Kyle Parker threw a 26-yard scoring strike to Jacoby Ford to win the game. It was big deal for Clemson because the Tigers have been toothless for some time. The win was Clemson's first in 9 tries over ranked teams, and its first win over a Top 10 foe in more than 8 years.

Here are the 7 of 12 teams that put on their muscle shirts looking for more BCS poll support by dominating their opponents in away games:

No. 3-ranked Texas (7-0) over Missouri 41-7, 6th-ranked Boise State (7-0) over Hawaii 54-9, 10th-ranked Texas Christian (7-0) over Brigham Young 38-7 (TCU was favored by 2.5 and won by 31), 11th-ranked Georgia Tech (7-1) over Virginia 34-9, 13th-ranked Penn State (7-1) over Michigan 35-10, 14th-ranked Oklahoma State (6-1) over Baylor 34-7, and 25th-ranked Oklahoma (4-3) over 24th-ranked Kansas 35-13 (this was not an upset as the Sooners were favored by 8 an won by 22).

Three other away game victories by ranked teams were less dominating.

No. 2-ranked Florida (7-0) led Mississippi State 16-13 after 3 quarters and then outscored the Bulldogs 13-6 in the final quarter to win 29-19. The victory was Florida's 17th straight, the nation's longest winning streak. Gator Tim Tebow threw two interceptions for touchdowns; Mississippi State's Johnthan Banks ran one back for 100 yards and another for 20 yards.

No. 7-ranked Iowa (8-0) used a last play 7-yard TD pass by Ricky Stanzi to Marvin McNutt to come-from-behind against Michigan State 15-13. The Spartans had successfully defended 3 downs and led 13-9 before the last play. Iowa has now won 12 straight dating back to last season, the second-longest streak in the nation.

The Hawkeyes are becoming a bigger deal nationally because they have won more close games than a pack of termites at a timber feast. Seven of their 8 victories have been by 11 or fewer points, including 1, 2 and 3-point victories over Northern Iowa, Michigan and Arkansas. Last year Iowa lost 4 games by a combined total of 12 points. The Hawkeye defense has 15 interceptions this year and 9 fumble recoveries.

No. 14-ranked Oregon (6-1) got a lot of help from Washington in its 43-19 victory, which might have appeared more dominate than it actually was. The Huskies managed to let a rusher go untouched on a punt attempt that was blocked and resulted in a loose ball in the end zone that Oregon recovered for a TD. While Washington was rushing to get into position for the extra point, the holder ran it in for a 2-point conversion.

Another Husky drive that should have been a touchdown became a field goal, and another Husky drive ended at 2nd-and-goal and Washington could not get it in as Jake Locker threw an interception on 4th down and the Huskies came away with nothing. Oregon would rush for 259 yards and Washington could not stop them.

Here are the 5 of 12 teams that put on their muscle shirts looking for more BCS poll support by dominating their opponents in home games:

No. 5-ranked Cincinnati (7-0) over Louisville 41-10, 9th-ranked Louisiana State (6-1) over Auburn 31-10, 17th-ranked Houston (6-1) over Southern Methodist 38-15 (Houston led 31-3 after 3 quarters), 18th-ranked Ohio State (6-2) over Minnesota 38-7, and 20th-ranked Pittsburgh (7-1) over South Florida 41-14.

Five other home game victories by ranked teams were less dominating.

Least impressive was 1st-ranked Alabama's block of a 44-yard field goal on the last play of the game by the Tide's 350-pound nose guard Terrence Cody to preserve a 12-10 lead and victory over the unranked 3-4 Tennessee Volunteers. The blocked field goal by Cody, now dubbed "Mount Cody", was his second of the game. The Crimson Tide (now 8-0) came into the game ranked No. 1 in total defense; Alabama's offense, which averaged 34 points a game coming in, got all of its points on 4 field goals by Leigh Tiffin, including a 49-yarder and a 50-yarder.

No. 4-ranked Southern California was lucky to get by the unranked 4-3 Oregon State Beavers. A 63-yard punt return by Damian Williams in the 4th quarter and a late drive that bailed out the USC defense saved the day as the Trojans outlasted the Beavers, 42-36. Southern Cal was ranked 9th in the nation in total defense, but its scoring defense was ranked 41st (the Trojans were giving up 30 points a game). Now you know why USC is beyond lucky to be ranked No. 4 in the country. Think about it, the Trojans gave up 36 points to a 4-3 Oregon State team. The Beavers were the only team to beat USC last year, and they did it at home 27-21.

No. 19-ranked Utah (6-1) went lame in a 23-16 victory over a 4-4 Air Force team. This is not the same Utah team that went 13-0 last year as the only undefeated team in the nation, and then took down Alabama 31-17 in the BCS Sugar Bowl. Utah still must face major opponents in Texas Christian (7-0) and Brigham Young (6-2).

No. 22-ranked West Virginia (6-1) needed a 56-yard touchdown run by Noel Devine in the closing minutes to get by Connecticut, 28-24, and 23rd-ranked South Carolina (6-2) keep a weak 2-6 Vanderbilt team at bay long enough to win 14-10. The 15th-ranked Virginia Tech Hokies were idle this week.

Here are two unranked teams still on the move and hoping to get ranked. Central Michigan (now 7-1 and getting more impressive every week) beat Bowling Green 24-10, and Navy (6-2) beat Wake Forest 13-10.

Nebraska, which I publicly identified as a fraud in last week's wrap-up, lost again, this time to Iowa State 9-7 in what sounded like a scrum match. The Idaho Vandals, who had been flying high at 6-1, got crushed by a 4-3 Nevada team, 70-45. Ouch, that was some crash landing; nonetheless, the Vandals are still 6-2 and bowl eligible.

Tell Rudy to crank up that typesetting machine, this wrap-up is finished (just for the record, you have to be at least 65 years old to use the noun typesetting in an article like this; we do it primarily to confuse younger people between downing shots of Jameson).

Football Spread Offense For High School Or Youth Football

Five Wide Attack Offense

The Football Spread Offense For High School Is An Effective Strategy With Multiple formations and uses.

This football offense is a strategy that has been around for at least half a century, with many variations in the way it is perceived and executed. You can find a version of it used at every level of the game, from high school all the way up to the pros.

However it is set up, its main goal is to spread out the defense across the field so that the offense has many running and passing opportunities to choose from. It can be an extremely effective strategy if done properly.

The most common set-up when it comes to the spread offense is the QB in shotgun formation (at least 5 yards back from the line of scrimmage). Players spread across the field horizontally in 3, 4, or 5 receiver sets, and the linemen may spread themselves out as well. As the defense fans out to make sure everyone is covered, they are creating multiple openings that the offense can take advantage of.

Coaches put their own spins on this offense, to varying results. Sometimes it can work well, other times either the defense is prepared for the transition or the QB can't execute it effectively.

There is the pass-oriented version, which assumes the coach and quarterback can analyze the way the defense is set up and make the right call.

Another version is the spread option. This requires a quarterback who can run with the ball, which you don't find that often, as well as a line that can trap and receivers who can block. In this scenario the hope is that the defense is anticipating a pass to one of the receivers.

A rarely seen or used version of the football spread offense is called the Pistol Offense, which holds the option for different members of the offense to carry the ball.

There are other variations to the football spread offense, and they are used by different coaches across the country.

To ensure that the spread offense is executed properly, all members of the team have to be in sync. Just like any other offensive strategy, it has to be practiced over and over again in order for all pieces of the puzzle to come into place.

Along with knowing and understanding the strategy, critical thinking on the part of all players, especially the quarterback, is key to making the right decision as far as whether to throw or run with the ball.

If your football team needs to have more offense take a look at the football spread offense. For more information about the # 1 High School Football Spread Offense click on the link below about 5 Wide Attack Spread Offense.
