Kiffin is one of the best, if not the best, at drawing up RPOs that put the defense in conflict. The example from when he had Dart below is a 4-strong look that looks like GH QB Counter, with the back showing lead for the QB, then slips into a rail. The boundary safety shades middle because of the unbalanced look, and the corner squeezed because he saw down blocks while the back slipped right past him.

He also loves pairing TE pop passes in the seam with his RPOs and mixing in throwbacks to the tight end. Treydez is going to feast on that.

Guarantee Harlem Berry and Caden Durham score off this play.

Please don’t let this turn into another “RPO is not the same as Read Option” thread.

I’m confused why the quarterback didn’t keep the ball or pitch it to the running back

Well coach, the LOS is the 23 and the tackle stops at the 20 which in my math is 3 yards. College allows for 3 yards so 3-3=0 no penalty.

Defense looked like they all thought the play was blown dead.

Gun Wing Trips Wk
Rpo Alert QB Counter Rail

Closest thing to it. Marshall and West Virginia playbook.

He's a master for sure. Also had Dart and Chambliss executing it.

Even Sean Peyton realized you gotta have a quarterback to run a system. The right QB makes everything else work.

absolutely coulda thrown bubble screen he had a 3 on 2 on his trips side.

the QB counters turned into a RPO are nice wrinkle indeed. buster faulkner runs those QB counters with haynes king. or should i say did.
