X and Y split wide. C is on the ball, QB is under center, and U lines up directly behind QB, about five yards deep.

Run Plays

Same under-center look every time: U starts four yards behind the QB and immediately angles to the inside B-gap-style lane between the middle and the edge. Dash Right hits that inside-right lane; Dash Left mirrors it.

XRun the Dash wheel-stop deeper: push to about eight yards, then settle around seven and show your hands.

CSnap between your legs, then run the Dash middle hook deeper: push to about seven yards, hook back, and settle around six.

YRun the Dash wheel-stop deeper: push to about eight yards, then settle around seven and show your hands.

UStart directly behind the QB about four yards deep. On Dash Right, angle immediately to the inside-right lane—the space that would be between guard and tackle—take the handoff on that track, then get north. Dash Left mirrors it. Do not run a straight dive or bounce wide off-tackle.

QBLine up directly under Center, take the snap, turn to the called side, and meet U on her angled track for a clean handoff.

Pass Plays

Unicorn right: U runs straight to the shallow flat opposite the selected short receiver.

Unicorn Right · Quick. Snap, set, quick to Y. Do not wait for U.Y: Release out, turn up, then come back in toward the QB. Show hands at 1½ yards beyond LOS. You are the first short throw; run exactly the same route on the Wheel fake. X: Run the familiar opposite-side out-and-return. Stay wide and separate from C; this is not a blocking assignment. C: Snap, then release immediately left, away from the called side. Turn to the QB at 2 yards beyond LOS. Stay short and inside of U's later route; do not wait for the fake. U: Safety valve: run one straight beeline to the sideline window, one yard beyond the line of scrimmage, then sit inbounds facing the QB and show your hands. No extra cuts or upfield drift.LOSXCYUQB
