Film Study: A Closer Look at Ramon Richards’ Interception

UTSA is lined up in a shotgun formation with four WRs split out wide – two up top, two at the bottom—and the RB to the right of the QB.

When the ball is snapped, the play appears to be a zone read, where the QB reads the right DE to determine if he should hand it off to the RB, keep it himself and run with it, or pass it.

I’m not sure if the zone read handoff was ever really an option on this play, or if the QB/RB was just selling it to bring in the LBs closer to the line-of-scrimmage to open up space for the receivers’ routes.
