as your bas run offense. Put the QB under center and give the tailback a blocker and run some quick opening runs. Even use a pistol which still gives the RB a running start.

A few year ago, Northwestern ran a great read option offense. The quarterback would gain 60-70 yards a game by pulling the ball out and keeping it. Defenses had to keep someone home to respect the QB run and it helped the running backs gain more yardage.
