TRIPLE OPTION SWITCH
Base Run Play
Setup:
Identify the Read Key and Pitch Key pre-snap (defenders with “R” and “P” above their heads)
If the Read Key crashes in, keep with the QB. If he breaks down or strafes outside, handoff to the HB by holding A on Xbox or X on PlayStation
If you keep with QB after reading the Read Key, the next read is the Pitch Key. While sometimes the Pitch Key will commit hard to guarding the FB, I recommend pitching to the FB in most cases. Be prepared to pitch it almost immediately since you will often have defenders approaching.
When attempting a pitch using Lb on Xbox or L1 on PlayStation, it’s better to be too early than too late. Pitching too late creates a very high risk of fumbling, which we want to avoid at all costs.
