Play overview

The key to this play is to set it up with repeated successful QB Sweeps. Once the defense is over pursuing to the outside in order to catch the Quarterback on the sideline, call the QB Power play to take advantage of their over pursuit.

The Quarterback should begin his trajectory as if he is rolling out for a wide sweep, but then plant his foot hard in the ground and cut straight upfield towards the line and behind the pursuit of the defenders.
