RPO = Run or Pass Option. The QB decides to hand it off to the running back (run) or pull it back and pass it. Usually based on what he sees the linebackers and/or safeties doing.... Not to decide to hand it off or run it himself. That is a read option.It has been said in these forums many times, that a very, very high percentage of those plays are designed RPOs, not a read option- where the quarterback is to decide hand off or run himself... Correct? Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me with the X's and O's can confirm.
A Read Option is when the QB decides to either hand it off to the running back or keep it himself and run. A running play all along.
