Gun Outside Zone and Mid-line Schemes

North Alabama head coach Mark Hudspeth opens up the run game side of his Shotgun Zone Triple Option, teaching the gun outside zone and mid-line schemes play by play. Every play comes with the detail of each player's blocking assignment and responsibility, and Coach Hudspeth makes the case that these schemes diversify an offense and put more pressure on a defense while staying simple enough for players to learn quickly.

What you'll learn

• The concept behind executing the Shotgun Zone Triple Option and where outside zone and mid-line fit inside it
• The Outside Zone from the gun, with the aiming points and reads that make it go
• Mid-line Option run off the Outside Zone look
• The Jet Sweep and how it stresses the perimeter
• The Speed Option and the Sprint Out to complete the five-play package
• Blocking assignments and protections for each of the five plays
• Why the assignments are simple and easy to learn, and how to fold the schemes into an existing offense

Who it's for

For high school and college offensive coordinators, offensive line coaches and head coaches looking to add gun run schemes. The package works as a complete offense or as a complement to the zone or gap run game you already have.
