DIAGRAM: The linemen break the huddle and walk shoulder-to-shoulder to the line. They stay in a two-point stance with no splits. The left halfback goes in deep motion. The fullback fakes a pitch-out and yells, “Hurry up! Hurry up!” The right halfback stays low out of the huddle and hides behind the line. He lines up behind the guard facing to the left. He takes the handoff and waits for a count of three before he runs. The quarterback sets the motion, takes the snap, then gives a blind handoff to the right halfback, as the QB reverses out and sprints to the right side carrying out the option fake.
