This is probably my favorite pass play in all of football. The possibilities are almost endless with this play and it can work versus any coverage. Texas Tech runs a base version of the play and then has several tags (PCP, Return, Wheel, Double Wheel, H Corner, Double Seam, etc.) to make it even more multiple in terms of attack. Given the effectiveness of this play there is quite a lot of material written about it already…here are just a few links:
American Football Monthly has a version of the play (click here) run from a bunch formation. Note to USC fans the Trojans run it from bunch quite often as well.
Chris Hatcher describes a version of the play in a pdf file here that ran in GridIron Strategies.
Another Chris Hatcher description of the play is here as well.
Another version of the play is here with Z aligned to the same side as X.
Here are a few plays in the “mesh” family including some of the popular tags used by Texas Tech.
