Film Study: OSU’s H-Counter Play

In last week’s look into successful plays from last season, I wrote about a concept from the OSU passing attack. However for this week’s post, I’m going back to the ground game. So far in regards to the OSU rushing attack, I’ve taken a look at the Buck Sweep and Outside Zone, and this week I’m going to cover the H-Counter.

In the H-Counter, the playside of the offensive line “down blocks,” or blocks the defenders down the line towards the center, while the backside guard and the H-Back pull around to lead block for the ball carrier.
