QBs running wild in college football
The results have been stunning. Henry rushed for 132 yards in an upset win at Northwestern, then ran for three touchdowns in a victory over Minnesota. Purdue is one of three unbeaten teams in conference play heading into Saturday’s game at No. 11 Ohio State.

Purdue has joined a growing number of teams using mobile quarterbacks out of the spread with a significant dose of that zone-read option. Michigan’s Denard Robinson and Nebraska’s Taylor Martinez quickly went from fighting for starting jobs to Heisman Trophy contenders doing it. Auburn’s offense has been nearly unstoppable with quarterback Cam Newton running a similar system.
