Michigan 12 personnel zone read package with 2 pullers.

12 personnel zone read

You are starting to see more zone read out of 12 personnel with 2 h backs as pullers. It's a popular play youll see against teams both who spill as well as teams that don't because if the qb pulls the ball he will have 2 blockers on the perimeter. It is also effective against teams who want to spill everything as your pullers can read the spill and get around them to the 2nd level.

Many times teams will read the spiller and avoid him if he's looking to spill. It becomes a very effective concept.

Michigan, Kansas and the Ravens are the teams I have seen utilize the concept.

Michigan runs it as well as other teams.

Kansas below with both running backs in the backfield.

See the 2 h backs lead the play.

Good execution and they read the DE.

Get 2 h backs on the edge

QB keeps for a nice gain.

Another version of the same play. This time they come out in 3x1 and come back to the single side with it. Nice job of getting both h backs out in front and this play is a touchdown if the safety doesn't Make a great play. Penn State was trying to spill it and the h backs read it and get on the edge. Again a great scheme and Nice play by the Penn State td stopping it from being a td.

Great when teams try to spill it.

Gets the qb on the edge with 2 pullers.

2 lead blockers in space.

Tough to defend

One more version of the play for a nice 15 yard gain.

Different set

but they motion one h across and then lead with the other one.

DE comes down to play the rb and qb pulls it for a big gain.

Gets on the edge with 2 blockers

Excellent design and another big gain.

More to come!

Great play and excellent design by Michigan and Kansas.

Notes to self!

Coaching football Offense-12 personnel at the college level

12 Personnel in the College Game

12 personnel and the runs out of it has brought a phsyicality back to the college game. Ir has been utilized by various teams at the college level .Let's start with some teams that use 12 personnel often in their offense.

Advantages:

1. Gives you some angles in the run game

2.More effective play action game

3. Dictate coverage more defensively(teams will play more zone against 12 and it opens up your quick passing game and play action game. Teams will rotate to cover 3 with motion and it opens up more boot components back to the weak side.

4. Forces teams to get out of their base nickel defense and play other schemes. Maybe 3-4 or maybe a true 4-3. This changes your run fits.

Iowa State

12 Run split zone with a great scheme vs Baylor's tight front

Good angles and execution in this well designed play.

G wrap

Here you see G wrap out of 12 vs the Tite front.

RT has a great angle on the 4i and the guard does a nice job getting up to the LB

RPO Glance Route

Running 3x1 into the boundary, most times you will get some type of cover 3, Clemson brings a fire zone cover 3.

Nice design and easy completion on the glance route back to the boundary.

Boot package

With all the teams that like to spin with motion in today's defensive age, boot out of 12 is a great play back to the weak side of the formation or to the boundary.

Heres the same play vs Baylor when it goes to a 4-2 look

Texas offense vs Baylor defense.

Texas comes out in 12 and runs boot to the boundary out of 12 formation, ace with 2 h backs.

Oregon vs Washington.

Wide Zone

Washington goes trips 3x1 to the left side with the tight end with a tight end backside. They get nice leverage based on alignment. Nice job blocking it as they get nice leverage on the defensive end. 12 personel puts them in a bind as they stay cover 2 shell vs Herbert and Oregon

Minn vs Penn State.

Minn goes 12 with 3x1 and they get man to man coverage on the 1 wr side with no safety over the top help. Nice throw and catch for the 40 yard td. Makes you make a decision as a defense.
