Calling all Xs and Os gurus

I would agree with this. It seems like we pass if the lb scrapes else we run the zone read. Though we must block the DL because there is no way we expect our QB to read both.

To me this seems like a more effective play than OSU draw/pass as a lb could take a few steps to coverage but still make a play on the run. I suppose this would be most effective if the lb blitzes, but we dont blitz much so maybe that is why it wasn't as effective on us?

Remember, the goal isn't to hit a homerun play but just to get 5+ yards, move the sticks and maintain possession. If the offense gets that, it's a win. The linebacker taking two steps back to coverage opens up enough room for the runningback to get 1-2 extra strides before being tackled so a 2-3 yard play becomes a 4-6 yard play.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I'll try to look for it on Saturday.

Depends what defensive look OSU gives. If they are a man coverage team, I doubt we will see much.
