Get It


If you watch at :01, when he is handing the ball off, he isn't looking at the RB, he is looking at the LB at the edge to see what he is doing.
at :09 again he reaches the ball out but his eyes are upfield
at :17 he is looking directly at the LB to see what he is doing. He starts creeping up towards LOS and he doesn't hand the ball off, instead he looks to the far side of the field and hits a guy in stride for a long play.

So on their first 3 plays of offense against an SEC team, all the plays had a read option involvement to them, but none of them the typical type where the QB is turning his back to the defense to either hand the ball off or not. They are all done with his eyes focused on key players on the defense to decide what to do next.
In zone-read, QB should never be looking at the RB. Has to keep his eyes on the edge first and foremost. That :17 play is what I was talking about over the top. Ishmael would feast in those one-on-ones.
