ASU Football: The RPO Column—Week 5
I thought this would be fun to do following games every week.
For those who don’t know what ‘RPO’ stands for, it stands for run/pass-option. It’s a play where a quarterback will have the option to either give the ball to the running back on a handoff or keep it himself. If the quarterback keeps it, then he’ll have the option to either pass the ball to a receiver or keep the ball and run. This season, Arizona State has incorporated the play as a focal element in its offense.
