What is freeze option in football?
The freeze option is the offensive formation created by the Oregon Ducks. It looks like the out-of-pistol freezing the defense with conversion to the speed formation. Offensive linemen will act as usual. If the defender covers the OL, the latter will block it, and the free teammates will take the second level of defense or help that OL.
The running back jabs and steps downhill to react to the handoff from the quarterback. QB momentarily reads the situation and touches the defensive end from the backside. QB pitches the ball to RB or WR if the DE tries to take away its run.
