That said, the presnap packaged play read doesn't HAVE to be out of Trips to a bubble screen. You can package any number of things, if you see a coverage or a matchup you like against a packaged route you have for a certain play. If, for example, you have a dominant WR (you guys can probably...

Here GT is lined up in Trips left. You'll see the inside receiver run his bubble, but sims liked the run call better. (I think this was a bad read on his part. I think he should have thrown the bubble) Here Sims likes the bubble to the top of the screen (I'm not sure what the exact rule is...

In this instance, the QB will just ignore the run play and throw the bubble screen to H, because that's a REALLY challenging play for dollar, and honestly Sam shouldn't be able to make that play. If he does, your guys should be scolded

What will often happen is guys will start to cheat in (like sam for example, or dollar) and you start to get a look more like this:

So, that's the RPO. There is another category of plays that are often called RPO's that in my mind are not really RPO's. They're what I call "Packaged Plays". Announcers will call these RPO's, but no reading happens after the snap. What happens is there is a pass play run by the WR's and a run...

Now, not every time does it have to be a Glance route, and not every time does it have to be on zone, and whatever, but that's probably the one most common nationally, and frankly, the one you guys probalby do most (although, honestly, it's not a HUGE part of your offense. It's more of a...

(ignore the sound, it's weird) Here sims chooses to pull, get a good picture up top and delivers. Touchdown (after a brief scramble) Here's sims reading pull, but the safety charges down into the passing lane and scares him off of it

Because we're running split zone, we're not reading the backside end, H his blocking him. Instead, the QB is reading Sam. If Sam steps up hard to stop the run, the QB pulls and throws the little glance route. If Sam respects the pass, and stays back, the QB just hands the ball off and we like...

I'm sure you can guess where this is going:

So, this is where the Glance Route comes in. Basically, the LB has vacated his pass responsibility here:

But maybe Sam doesn't cooperate. Maybe he says "I've got a safety behind me if he goes deep, I'm going to charge this play and screw their math up:

The most common of these (and one that I've seen you guys do) involves the "Glance" route. (you want to call it a slant? Fine. You wanna call it a skinny post? Fine. You want to say "wE rUn A sTiCk RoUtE, tEcHniCAlly", fiiiiiiiine. This is a quickie, I'm not looking to deal with all the billion...

So, we've sort of covered this one in a past edition of ILTOs WGTD, so this is going to be a quickie (the standard ILTO advance warning. :/ ). We're just going to do real basics. The basic concept here is that when you hear "RPO" what you're REALLY hearing is "there are a whole suite if plays...

It may be a little early to return to this board, but I will tell you guys, don't feel as good about your offense, don't feel as bad about your defense. We are legitimately very good on offense. We are legitimately awful on defense. I would call Techmo Bowl a coin flip game

I strongly disagree! I remember the Tennessee game and going "that kid is running a single wing, not a triple option". Like, he ran his tail off, and ran fast and hard and decisively, but I don't recall him reading a single thing

To this day I maintain that kaipo ran the most beautiful iteration of that offense I've ever seen. One of Johnson's players was his high school coach, so he had had a bajillion reps before he ever got to college. By the time he was an upperclassman, it was like watching one of the Old Masters...

As recently as 2014 https://247sports.com/college/virginia/Season/2014-Football/Commits/ GUESS WHAT HAPPENED IN 2015?? HERE'S A HINT, IT INVOLVES UTAH.

Also, if you guys win this one, I'm actually going to be surly, because it will strike the sweet spot of "we beat enough bad teams not to get our coach fired, but also we suck, and we're going to continue to suck". This is what happens when you lose YET ANOTHER in-state recruit to UNf'nC...

Well, eventually it won't, one way or another.

38-21, good guys (not you)
