One of the best ways to handle 3-Down Fronts (Tite, Mint, etc.) is to create 3-Man Surfaces with a TE. In addition, running the QB is an easy way to gain the numbers advantage in the run game. You can use the QB in Zone or Gap Schemes with the RB leading. Oklahoma lines up in Double TE (creating multiple 3-Man Surfaces) to run QB GT Counter.
GT Counter to the Jet Motion
Backside TE Cuts Off the 5 Technique
RB Kicks out Playside Edge Defender
Both Guard & Tackle Wrap to Lead QB
QB takes a drop step to run the GT Counter Track
I call this “Super Power” because the way it hits feels more like Power with a double Wrap from the Guard and Tackle than a true Counter. It’s a great way to rush numbers to the point of attack and get your QB Downhill vs. a 3-Down Front.
