offensive strategy

Question
Dear Ken,
    I have been coaching for about 7 years now with more than incredible success, well until this season. I work with pre-high school aged kids and the league in which they play follows common high school rules.
    In the past three weeks my offense has been struggling severely due to a defensive scheme of overloading the line of scrimmage with as many as 10 men! leaving only the safety in the secondary. When I place wide recievers , or sets of them, corners and db's will come out to cover but if I were to put enough manpower on the line to sucessfully stop the rush, and I mean its always an all out rush by all, I would be left with no backs or recievers at all. I am looking into a realitively simple screen pass option and am already utilizing quick slants and traps but in time the corners and olb's are going to expect it and then I will really be in trouble. I need some advice on how to get the ball down the field using the running game as well as the short pass. I run alot from the Power I, and the split back formation. Any advice you can give would be appreciated.

Answer
Dan,

 I also encountered this problem more than once.  I took over the offensive in mid season, my first year as a high school coach.  I did not want to make any drastic changes, for the simple reason of not wanting to confuse anyone.  
 I started out running the option.  I would run it inside, outside and a qb follow.  The first quarter was just all setting up the defense for the things to follow.  After running the option outside enough you can sneak a tight end out into the flats and boom 10 yds a pop.  After that gets working it all seemed to open up.  I would run numerous option passes and just to keep the def on there heels stufff the full back in the middle.  
 I don't know if you have did this, but it worked for me.  I guess the whole thing was to keep them guessing.  Once in a while they would guess right,  but after the first quarter I would move the ball at will.  If you need anymore help or would like a few plays to try please email me at [email protected].  Good luck!
