Using Y-Stick With Tempo
Next to bubble and fast screen the most used RPO today has to be the Y-Stick Concept. It is a versatile passing concept just by itself, but taking it and attaching a run play to it makes it even more devastating. The first read when coaching this is to take the low hanging fruit that the defense is giving you. We will almost always look at the single receiver slant as our first read. If the safety is playing further than 10 yards back, or is in the middle of the field we will throw slant because of the opportunity of making a big play one on one. The next read for us if the slant is taken away is the "Stick" route by the Y. This is a 5 yard route where he will open up away from the defender. We will read the Mike Linebacker if he stays in the box to play run we will throw the "Stick" right now, and take what we can get. If the linebacker chases or leaves the box we will give the ball to the running back.
In my RPO HUDL LIBRARY I break down tons of film from high school and the college level. One of my favorite teams to watch using tempo and formations is Ole Miss. In their second drive of the game down 3 points they open by running Inside Zone Stick three times in a row. By using tempo and a "Xerox" call they are able to quickly run the same play and formation over and over. Because they take advantage of using all three reads the defense is left guessing.
Using Y-Stick with Tempo (No Break down)
Back Side Slant Read (With Breakdown)
As you go through the video progression you will see how OK St. keeps guessing and the offense is able to take what they are giving them because essentially 3 plays are built into one very simple offensive play.
Inside Zone Y-Stick "Give" (with Breakdown)
Another pre-snap read tells the quarterback that the box is down to 5 defenders. This tells the quarterback to give the football to the running back.
Inside Zone Y-Stick (with Breakdown)
Because most defenses are taught to stop the last play ran in a "Xerox" play OK St. brings pressure allowing an easy 5 yard gain on first down.
