So are you saying that LSU only runs the read option ?

So which one of your list do you think forms the basis of LSU’s current offense?

LSU runs the Slide RPO. Same offense as with Jayden Daniels!

I blame the broadcasters. The networks spend all this money on football experts to be the color guys yet they discuss the game at the most basic level to where they might as well just hire the QB of a middle school football team

So,are you saying the Zone read is a subset of the RPO ? Can we agree that our QB almost never runs the Ball by design or scheme ?

I am not saying that. LSU runs the RPO which is the same offense we ran with Jayden Daniels who obviously presented a real threat to run. I would rather see us running a Proset with Nussemier under center more or in the shotgunI. It would help significantly more if our offensive line was better at run blocking.

I think Nuss is fast enough to tuck it and run like Burrow used to do. I hope he starts doing and it and adds that tool to our repertoire soon.

And yet, he has.

If the defense doesn't respect the QBs ability to run, then it will open up a lane for him to run. At some point, it will be costly to an opponent.

huh?

You cant pass out of a zone read, because the blockers are already downfield before the run option is finalized. Therefore, the "P" is never an option in a zone read

You're getting hammered in this thread and changed your position from your own OP.

Off the top , I can’t remember Nuss running except 2 or 3 times ? Really takes much of the juice out of the rpo. I think this is by a dictate concerned that he might get hurt and the backups are not ready. They are going to have to release him to be successful for the sec push . Much of the reason why our offensive line has not been more successful is because other team defenses have stacked the middle knowing that Nuss is not going to run or break out.

Yes, LSU runs a run-pass option (RPO) offense:
RPO
A play where the quarterback can run, pass, or hand the ball off to a running back based on the defense's reaction. The quarterback makes this decision in real time, which gives the offense an advantage.

That would be a triple-option, and it represents an extremely small subset of RPOs as a whole.

The vast majority of RPOs involve an option to either hand the ball off to an RB or pass, with no designed QB run option. The simple, “classic” example of an RPO is an inside zone where the slot receiver runs a slant. If the LBs bite on the run, the QB pulls it and throws the slant. If the LBs stay home, he hands it off.

Bootleg plays designed to force a defender to choose between covering the receiver or QB are also technically RPOs, but not really what (knowledgeable) people are talking about when they say “RPO.” An example is the play we ran a lot with Daniels where he rolled out with Mason Taylor running toward the sideline right in front of him.

The problem for our fan base seems to be that well-executed RPOs, inside zones, and zone reads all look very similar unless you know what you’re looking for. Even on a 100% inside zone call, you want your QB to fake something after the handoff (whether acting like he’s running or acting like he’s passing). It doesn’t mean the QB actually had a pull option on the call.

ETA: We have run plenty of RPOs where Nussmeier has pulled it and completed passes. If the OL is blocking downfield on a pass, chances are it’s an RPO.

Concept of an RPO has been kicking this boards arse for years

You're going to have to dumb this WAAAAY down for the OP.

He hears the fancy words the broadcasters use and automatically knows what he is talking about.

Are you talking about zone read? Because read option gives the qb a man to pitch the ball to after keeping.


Not the case- The main difference in a zone read and a read option is the blocking scheme. Read option runs more traditional power blocking / duo concepts and leaves a read man at the end of the line while the zone read uses a zone blocking scheme with the same option and also leaves a man on the backside to read

If there is a pitch man, that makes it a triple option. Because there’s 3 options on the play (RB handoff, QB pull and run, and QB pull and pitch)
