To get the plus one advantage and have the running back be the ball carrier against a 6 man box, the offense must leave a defender unblocked and keep the seventh defender from entering. With the RPO, any run can be used. Some like zone, some like gap based power runs. In this example, the run will be the common inside zone run, and the pass will be a hitch and fade on the front and the backside route will be an out and fade.

The quarterback will take the snap and immediately get his eyes to the conflicted defender. If that defender comes downhill to fill the B gap, the quarterback will pull and throw to the slot receiver who is going to make sure to body up and block out any safety who may be coming down to rob. By leaving the linebacker unblocked, the offense gains a plus one in the run game. By separating the field and sending routes deep, it forces safeties to remain out of the run game, ie to keep the seventh defender out. Because the backside is running a speed out, the defender over him will be unable to come into the run box. As defenses adjust to what is happening the offense must continue understand what gaps or passing zones are being left open, or being defended by dual defenders. As long as the offense knows the answer to that question, there is an RPO to attack with. Ultimately, the final chalk lies with a cover zero. At that point, it is my man against your man. Play ball.
Also let's say if they play man with a 5 yard cushion and a high safety with one of those CB's biting or play man to man; one of those outside receivers is going to make a big chunk play
Like Richards did against WVU?
Not necessarily based on numbers in the box, but rather a single defender that the QB is reading. (aka the "conflict defender") Usually a box defender like an Outside Linebacker.
You've got the right idea though.
Thank you for the knowledge much appreciated.
Any time, dude.
Class as I mentioned before these guys listed above love to say other people don't know RPO and then start to ramble on and on about what it is. Now, here is the kicker, all of these so called experts in RPO don't know what "The read option run" is. Just think about that for a second. Anyone, with a basic understanding of RPO knows that The Read Option Run is a wrinkle and an evolution of the read option pass/play action pass. Remember the guys that are pretty good in interviews and get the job because they talk a good game but as soon as you ask them to do something they can't seem to do it. This is because they really don't know what they are doing.
Hopefully, they move forward with the discussion and answer those questions that actually makes this RPO philosophy work. Because as stated we don't need RPO defined a million times!!!
I think I know what the read/option is. I've only been around it for 9 years.
The read/option is not a "wrinkle" of the RPO concept. It can be incorporated if you have a QB who can do it, but it's not a wrinkle. You can run RPO's all **** day and not utilize a read/option concept one single time.
Again, you're clueless.

Yup, or even Malcolm Lewis's TD

I think that play was actually a called play-action pass. If you watch the OL off the snap they set up in pass pro.

The CB on that play was more like 10 yards. The read was really easy for Kaaya.
Let's say the defense does play man-free with a 5 yard cushion. What's the offense's answer for that?

Another person who doesn't know what an RPO is. Why can't we sticky an RPO thread so that we don't run into this garbage every day?
The problem we have with our rpos, this is just a guess on my part based on what I have seen and read, is our 5 offensive linemen and te can't consistently win against the 6 men in the box. I would take away the pass and forcing the run which we don't do very well
