I couldn't agree more with DeBerry. My high school team was still running the wishbone effectively when I was there in the late nineties. As an OSU Alum, I see a lot of resemblance in OSU version of the spread. The blocking schemes and reads are essentially the same, just in slightly different formations. It takes a special quarter back to develop the ability make those option reads. When executed perfectly, the zone read negates one defender on every play, meaning in theory, your runner has to only make 1 person miss to get a good play, even if the defense stays in their lanes. If they over pursue or get out of position, it can be deadly. I look for Zac to have a big game rushing this week against Mizzou after successfully saving his legs up to this point.
