SETUP
The rep ends the moment any win happens, then reset. Rosen runs it as a five-minute game.
Variation (from source): Same wins, new looks. Offense starts with their head down. Defense starts with no whizzer. Defense puts their foot outside the offense's leg instead of between. An earlier PUSHPULL post (Why Games Teach Technique Better Than Drills, 27 Jan 2026) runs it with these wins: offense gets to treetop or puts them on their butt; defense gets chest on their back, clears the leg, or forces them to their knees.
