In all of the talk regarding the offense LSU wants to implement this season with Steve Ensminger running the show, the one constant through all the talk has involved the letters RPO. So what does that mean, exactly? It’s become such a ubiquitous term as of late that people tend to overuse it (if you watched last year’s Super Bowl, Cris Collinsworth seemed to think the Eagles were calling one on every other pass).
RPO, of course, stands for Run/Pass Option, a play where the offense has the ability to move the ball either way all in one play.
