Using Quick Throws To Out-Leverage Your Opponent

North Alabama head coach Mark Hudspeth runs the Shotgun Zone Triple Option, and the quick passing game is how he gets the football to his best athletes in space. In this session he demonstrates the quick throws that out-leverage a defense, forcing defenders into open field tackles and turning a numbers or leverage advantage into easy yards. It is a relatively safe way to get touches for the players you want touching the ball.
