There was a time where I ran a read on the goalline and faked out the defense; they expected it to go to the RB for Oregon. I just walked right in with the QB.

As for bubble screens, I've only run one but all the blocking held up for me, I just couldn't shake one guy so it ended up in a short gain. That's usually how bubble's work to my knowledge. But why would you run a bubble screen when/if there are more defenders than blockers? It's gonna get blown up unless you break a number of tackles.
I've been running the option for a very very long team on varsity i made only one mistake <-spelling
I didn't run the bubble screen with more D then blockers. the wr just didn't move and the cb???
