Actually the reason you declare the play to the defense via the formation before the snap in this offense is to cause the ENTIRE defense to over react to what they know is coming. Which gives the back HUGE cutback lanes... Yes you will sometimes run it with the intention of it being a surprise, but teams that run this offense show their hand on purpose. You line up in an outside zone read to the right, the entire D line slants right even after they have shifted to the right and they either stuff the play for a loss, or the back cuts back for a big chunk of yardage. In NCAA Football 13 it does not translate 100%, but it does do a decent job of this.
