"Tackling Football: Everyone’s Guide to Understanding the College Game" provides fans with the basics for understanding a college football game – how it is played, including the various playing positions, and basic offensive and defensive strategies.

It is written in a “user-friendly” format and is drawn from our combined years of experience with college football as spectator, player and coach. We feel that few things in sports compare to the excitement of a weekend college football game – from socializing with friends at the pregame tailgating parties to the energy of the crowd cheering their team’s touchdown over a rival. We want others to have that experience and share in our love and appreciation for the game.
Note: This is essentially the same book as our earlier book targeted to women fans, "Tackling Football: A Woman's Guide to Understanding the College Game" - this version has a different color scheme, new introduction, and is designed and marketed for both men and women who want to understand the very basics of the game.
