Do we utilize RPO's much?

[EngrHog]

Seems like if you hear anycoach or analyst talk, the Run Pass Option is the Achilles heal of any defense, even Saban's. I know it is commonplace with most spread teams. Obviously we run a pro style offense and I'm sure we use these to some extent, but to my untrained eye it doesn't appear we use the biggest offensive advantage in the game anywhere near as much as the rest of the college landscape does.

Am I mistaken?

We do not use any. We never will. Bert himself said that if you don't use a fullback we will kick your ass.

Except the teams that do not use one kicks his ass

Tune into espn classics and you'll see the concepts we're trying to master.

All the short line of scrimmage passes to Drew Morgan last year and this year Nance are RPO options.

I believe those are designed PA's.

How dare you ask an actual football question. Don't you know this is a "fire fat Bert" board? Come back when you have something clever to say about Bert at the Golden Corral buffet.

No!  No rpo's for Coach Bert's offense,we use Hoganese instead.  It's much better!

I'm talking about the quick throws to the slot Receiver where the Outside receiver blocks. Like Morgan's TD vs UTEP. No PA on those throws. Number of men in the box determines if it's a throw or run.

That's not an RPO, that's just a bubble screen. RPO develops along with the flow of the play. It could be a run or a pass after the ball is snapped depending on which way the defense moves.

It can be both. Bubble Screen is just the type of route. If the slot WR is coverd they run it. If not they pass it out.

do we run it with playaction though? the type of RPO I'm thinking of is the fake handoff (zone read) type of RPO where the QB can hand it off or pull the ball back and pass it down the seam or something like that

We don't us PA on it. However both the RB and WR are ready for the all if the QB gives it to them. The line is blocking running regardless.
