Play of the Week

The play that Urban Meyer first started running with Alex Smith in Utah, the play that Vince Young perfected in Texas, and the play that West Virginia scares everyone with Slaton and White running it to perfection, we present to you the Zone Read.  I personally coach from a shotgun formation the entire game, but you dont have to be a shotgun team to run this play.  This play is nothing more than the ole' veer option, with some minor wrinkles.  Make the play your own, and I would love to hear how you teach it.

QB READ:   QB’s must make the end respect the keep everytime you run this play.  If the end does not, then the QB keeps the ball around the outside.  If the end stays at home, then give to your RB and let him make the play.  Simple as that!  If your QB does not follow out his fake, even when he gives the ball, then this play will have little success.  The QB must be disciplined enough sell the play everytime, not just go through the motions.
