How To Utilize A Fast Quarterback
There are a few different ways to utilize a fast QB; more in college than there is in the NFL. There is going to be agreater speed discrepancy between the good teams and the bad teamsin college, making your QB a bit more of a superhuman in certain situations.
Option Offense
If your QB does not have good throwing stats, you may build your offense around an option-style offense. This is mostly going to include reading a defense anddeciding mid-play whether to hand the ball to an inside Running Back, taking it to the edge and/or pitching it, or throwing a short Wide Receiver screen or slant route.
This type of offense is going to require at least one good running back in order to work, as well as an offensive line that’s more tilted toward run blocking.
A Spread offense is going to havea lot of WRs on the field at the same time, with usually only one RB on the field. These formations are usually going to keep opponents spread into Nickel or Dime formations to match, and you’ll be able toutilize a lot of rollouts on pass plays where you’re able to either throw on the run or run it with the QB.
This will require an offensive line capable of pass blocking, particularly your Tackles, who are going to need to keep opponent Defensive Ends/Outside Linebackers occupied for the rollout.
