Rice University’s Offensive Line: The Mike Bloomgren school of OL play has always been about selling out to vertical movement on tight zone runs. It’s something he established while serving as the OC at Stanford and has continued now as the HFC at Rice. The front side of the concept is all about hip-to-hip presence on doubles and the backside is about handling movement and cutting off penetration. There is no ‘plussing’ out to out-of-box defenders or altering the point in his system. It’s an A gap play true and true. Rice’s offensive line coach Sanders Davis shares how he trains the eyes of his offensive line to identify and block gap fit backers, lag technique, and 2i/4i defenders from Even and Odd spacing.
