About this video
Option football does not have to be complicated, and that is the whole argument of this video. David Wilkerson, offensive coordinator at Northeast Mississippi Community College, shows how he implements the speed option and the zone option in his spread offense without asking players to make complex reads. What you get instead is a short list of simple, time-tested rules for squeezing maximum yardage out of the option, and the game film to prove they hold up.

- The defensive looks he will run the zone option against
- Which defenses he runs the speed option against, and the reasoning behind each
- How to keep option rules simple enough for players at any level
- Game film of both options run against live defenses
Who it's for
High school and junior college offensive coordinators and quarterback coaches who want option in a spread offense, especially staffs that have avoided it because the reads looked too hard to teach.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference the video draws out?
When to call the speed option and when to call the zone option out of the spread, how each one is blocked, and the defensive fronts and coverages that make each call the right one.
Is this too advanced for younger players?
No, that is the selling point. Coach Wilkerson deliberately strips out the complex reads so the option can be coached at any level, from junior college down to high school and youth football.
