Steve Sarkisian consistently emphasizes the importance of a strong run game, boasting about his history of producing thousand-yard rushers. The video highlights three primary run schemes used by Sarkisian’s offense: Outside Zone, Inside Zone, and Counter, explaining their mechanics and strategic advantages.
Last season, the Outside Zone scheme was the most successful. This scheme relies on the offensive line’s lateral movement to create running lanes. Inside Zone focuses on vertical movement and creating lanes through direct engagement and displacement of defensive players.
The Counter scheme involves pulling linemen to create advantageous blocking angles, often confusing defenses with misdirection. Highlighting individual performances, the video showcases the effective blocking and decisive running by players like Christian Jones, Kevin Banks, and Jonathon Brooks. Sarkisian’s use of motion and varied play design keeps defenses guessing, making it challenging to predict and stop the run game.
