TCU Zone read variation - Inverted veer option

[Jpolly168]

It doesn't seem a zone read at all. There are a variety of reasons for this... One.. The guard pulled right. Two. The tailback (or in this case a Slot in motion( is heading right. The zone read entails the line blocking solidly to one side, It the DE crashes down the QB keeps it, the RB is going the other way and picks a gap to go through. I believe the DE came so far out of containment, the QB ( A good one) simply kept it,

If it was a Veer it would be to the inside. This is to the out.

@Jpolly168 No it isnt a zone read, its an Inverted veer.

@clempsonfootball ahhhh. An inverted veer. It was hard for me to determine if it was meant, or a busted play, from one look. I figured there'd be an inside option if it was a true veer though...

I would call it "Power Read' because if you really look at the blocking, all it is "Power Oh" without the kickout block... the read replaces the kickout, but everyone else on the line has the same responsibility as Power

From talking to a couple coaches, apparently they call it "Frontside Veer"

and Bad71 your right its Veer blocking because of the Inside release from the Tackle to LB and the down block of the Guard on the 1 tech

This play was only run about 3 or 4 times, and this clip was their best run of it. Clemson really didnt adjust to this variation, but it was really only critical on that play above.

I think it is more of a veer variation than a zone read variation.... The Sweep Veer...... I call it Swerve

NIce variation.  Did Clemson ever adjust to stop it?
