TEX stunt (tackle-end exchange)
What it is
The tackle penetrates first to occupy blockers and the end loops behind him into the vacated interior gap.
Why it matters
The penetrator must get vertical enough to occupy two blockers; the looper must stay tight to his hip and not round the loop. Timing beats athleticism here - a wide loop gives the guard time to pass it off.
Also called
Programs call this T-E stunt or tackle-end game. The Coach answers to any of them.
