Matt Rhule: An Education on Our New HC


SetfreexX

Recommended Posts

Gents feel free to drop educational links, as many I am intrigued by this hire, I've wanted an offensive minded coach for sooooooo long to attempt to maximize our potential. I'm not a huge college guy but my thumb is on it, let's help educate each other on the addition.

That said, why Rhule embraced the RPO game was because of the following reasons:

  • To protect the run game
  • To exploit the defense (more on this later*)
  • To put defenders in conflict
  • To spread the ball around
  • To negate defensive pursuit

Though Rhule has come to grips with the RPO game, he deploys it only situationally. “The hard part of the RPO is not the whats, it’s the when,” he said. Baylor runs RPO in the following situations:

  • Base downs
  • 2nd and long
  • 3rd and 3-6
  • Red zone
  • Four-down territory

Why not on 2nd-and-short? It’s simple: Rhule loves the quarterback sneak there. “We changed our season by just going QB sneak,” he said. “We were 14-of-14, including two plays of over 15 yards. 2nd and 1-2 is direct run, preferably QB sneak.”
