The Burns zone read is dead.  Opponents will know its coming if he steps on the field.  It's been played out.

Yep, until he throws the ball. Shaw does these things for a reason.

And on top of that, the whole point of the zone read is supposed to be that it doesn't matter if you know it is coming. Look at Oregon over the years, nobody was surprised they ran the zone read. They basically ran two plays, inside zone and outside zone. They just reacted to whatever the defense did to run away from what was covered.

That doesn't work under all circumstances, as we eventually showed in 2012, 2013 when we stuffed the duckies offense. But, that won't be what a team facing us is most focussed on.
