This play is a very important complimentary play for any triple option offense. Once you realize that the defense is “keying” on your triple play, make those safeties “pay the price” for playing the triple run play by running the play-action pass play “triple pass”. The QB must make this play “look” like a regular triple option play. The QB flash fakes the mesh with the diving B-back and then takes two more steps laterally towards the sideline in order to sell the triple option play. The QB then takes three steps backwards and then throws the ball to the play side Z-receiver. He should be wide open since both the SS and the play side CB are playing RUN all the way! Once you make the defense pay for their over zealousness, it is time to go back to your bread and butter play: Triple Option!
