Can someone explain the difference to me on these plays? I was listening to Musberger, and just said Nebraska ran a double reverse when the qb handed the ball to a receiver running behind him, who then handed to another receiver.
Now, as I understand it, that should just be a reverse, correct.
My understanding for each type of play.
end around: QB hands off to a receiver, running across the field behind the QB.
reverse: QB hands off to a RB/FB/WR, who runs one way and hands off to a QB/RB/WR/FB coming in the other direction, thus the ball reverses field (question, if the QB goes on an option and hands off to a receiver running the other way, is that a reverse or an end around?)
double reverse: QB hands to RB/FB/WR, who runs one way and hands off to a WR/RB/FB who runs the other way, who then hands off to a WR/RB/FB who runs the other way. Thus, the ball goes one way after the first handoff, reverses field on the next handoff, then reverses a second time on the final hand off.
Do I have this correct, or should I just defer to whatever the announcer tells me?
