This article should be required reading for some on here who complain all the time about the number of bubble screens, or why passes being thrown behind the LOS...

"The zone read and bubble screen can be [URL='http://fastandfuriousfootball.com/wp-content/uploads/coachingmaterial2/RichRodriguezSpreadpt2.pdf']combined together[/URL] into a [URL='http://smartfootball.com/run-game/the-zone-read-gun-triple-option-and-the-quadruple-option']package[/URL].  In other words, the QB can either make an automatic pre-snap check to the bubble if the slot receiver is uncovered, or he can throw the bubble during the play depending on his [URL='http://smartfootball.com/run-game/the-zone-read-gun-triple-option-and-the-quadruple-option']read[/URL].  The offensive linemen can [URL='http://smartfootball.com/run-game/the-zone-read-gun-triple-option-and-the-quadruple-option']run-block[/URL] since the throw is behind the line of scrimmage.  The defense's job is thus made more difficult by the fact that they cannot 'guess.'  The bubble screen thus serves the purpose of constraining the defense and evening out arithmetic, while having the added bonus of getting the ball to an athlete in space."

One key in the CMU game will be forcing them to take a defender out of the box to respect the bubble, and then running the inside zone read - between the tackles and Hunt keeping it around the end. If they can defend the bubble and keep the extra man in the box, it will be a long day.
