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.
