Power Running in Spread O

right off the bat

----Recruiting deep threat receivers who have to be doubled with a safety over the top to prevent tall, strong-armed QBs from finding them downfield----

So when a team doesnt have 'that' what threat needs to be doubled?


----or the addition of RPOs to allow QBs to distribute the ball on the perimeter or down the field to punish teams for bringing help to stop the run.-----

Whats the perimeter that they speak of? TIC



or when they talk about GA and Aub with --- This requires the use of a burly blocker at that H-back spot but there are some common workarounds these days to avoid having to kick DEs out all day on power. What makes power “God’s play” and such a popular concept is that the offense is getting a double team and then a lead insert at the point of attack. Georgia and Auburn have been revealing some easier ways to handle the DE and still run double teams and lead blocks right at the middle of their opponents defensive front.-----

Well your "H back" at 16801 cant make that block and if you look at the handoffs in the videos there is no RPO disguise--- in fact the RB is 1-2 steps behind the QB to get a head of steam

sounds to me that Jo Mo is a few plays behind the rest of the crowd or has designs, as some say here, to cater to his strengths and his teams capabilities when really it appears to highlight his weaknesses



or -----Georgia often attaches QB keeper reads,bubble screens, slants, and hitch routes for Jake Fromm to throw if opponents try to sneak in extra defenders to stop these runs. They also occasionally load the field with TEs and FBs still but they’re using a lot more spread sets these days.-----

bubble screens?? slants?? hitch routes?? Stop the presses these are football concepts????? no way!!!! I thought the object was to handoff 6 yards deep every other play so you can be 2nd and 3rd and long where short passes, which is what i think those are, do not result in first downs and you are in a desired situation where going vertical is part of the plan Stan. nah Jo Mo is just being koy Roy


or ------As Iowa found against Ohio State last Saturday, the same linebackers that may be great at scraping laterally to fit gaps may not be so great when dealing with downhill runs that create vertical rather than horizontal stress. Ultimately that’s what the smashmouth spread is all about, getting just horizontal enough with the football to allow an offense to isolate a DT or LB and run at them with double teams and lead blocks.----

No way lowly Iowa??? Really?? How did they know to do that???? how many points per game do they average [ 27 for those that want to know including the 55] seems like enough to notch a W against THE OSU.
 
Georgia mention is a tad late (Auburn whooped em, made them very one dimensional) and I don't recall a lot of spread being run. Oh well, if it fits "the narrative".
