Play of the Day: Mills off Toss Read Play Action

Today’s play of the day is from Mississippi State (2018-19).

They run this concept to the boundary and fake a toss read (power read with toss action) in the backfield. They actually scored on a QB pull off the toss read the previous drive. They dial up the “Mills” concept to Hi/Lo the Safety with a Dig from #2 and a Post over the top from #1. The #1 WR does an excellent job of “bowing” his route stem to widen the corner’s leverage and give the QB a lot of space to throw the post once that safety picks up the Dig from #2.
