Dan Mullen - The Spread Offense Running Game Introduction: Dan Mullen, Quarterbacks Coach, University of Utah. ( Would move on to the University of Florida as the OC. Currently the Head Coach of Mississippi State University) Philosophy: The theory behind the offense is to attack the defense every play. Force the defenders to cover the entire field, protecting against the run and pass. Base Run: The base run play is the inside zone, which branches into the zone-read option. The basis of the option attack is to provide the threat of a run, with the deception of the pass. Also force the defense to spread across the field, defending sideline to sideline with multiple formations and sets. Number of Safeties = Success: The number of safeties will alert the offense to where they can be successful. If a defense shows a two high safety look, then the offense knows the matchups in the box are in their favor. If the defense shows one safety high, then the quarterback will his reads and runs to accound for the extra defender in the box. If the defense has no safeties high, than the offense has to be a decent pass team, to take advantage of matchups. 14/15 Read With the inside zone play being the base play, most of the run plays use the same blocking schemes. Therefore base zone rules are used. PST - Base block the 5-tech PSG/C - Combo the 3-tech to the mike, the Center can make his reads and scoop directly to the Mike. BSG - Base on Nose BST - Has to block the B-Gap defender. He may make a man call which will block through the DE to Sam. TB - Aiming point is the outside leg of the PSG, reading the 1st DL passed the Center QB - Open and read backside C-gap defender. If End is blocked give, then carry out fake. Receivers: If on frontside of play, blocks as if the play were inside zone. Meaning block nose to inside number. If on the backside of the play, block as if the Q keeps. FS
