Throwing on the Move: Rollouts and Naked Bootlegs in the Auburn Offense

With an effective run game and a mobile quarterback, play action and rollouts can help get receivers open. Ninth and final entry in a series on the Tiger passing game. Previously: Coverages, Routes, Smash, Wheel, Four Verts, Comebacks, Mesh, and Floods.

In Gus Malzahn's first press conference as Auburn's head coach, he said, "We will have a fast paced offense... We will run the football... We're a run, play action team." True to his word, nearly every pass concept I've covered is paired with at least a token fake to the running back.
