Last Saturday in Charlottesville, North Carolina gave up 212 rushing yards to Virginia, and about half of those were to UVA quarterback Bryce Perkins. Virginia runs a spread system that utilizes misdirection and option reads into his offense to simplify his playbook, while allowing his quarterback to have 2-3 different places to take the ball on each play. Virginia wants to attack teams horizontally, and not just vertically. Against North Carolina, Virginia was continually able to get first downs, and keep the ball away from UNC’s offense. At times North Carolina looked confused by Virginia’s pre-snap motions, as well as their misdirection and run blocking scheme.
