ZONE READ?

[AhliBobwa]

When Gray was in it was clear that SDSU had no answer for his explosiveness and strength. He had a few good gains early on. Then he had a bad pitch on the option and he got yanked till the 4th quarter. Wouldn't it make more sense to find a play like the option with less risk? The zone read is an option play without a pitch that gives the QB the chance to tuck it and run outside, utilizing his athleticism. It doesn't make any sense why they stopped doing that and instead ran the stretch play 15 times.

For some reason the Gopher coaching staff didn't like the 7 yards a carry Gray was giving them.
