How To Utilize A Fast Quarterback
There are a few different ways to utilize a fast QB; more in college than there is in the NFL. There is going to be a greater speed discrepancy between the good teams and the bad teams in college, making your QB a bit more of a superhuman in certain situations.
Option Offense
If your QB does not have good throwing stats, you can build your offense around an option-style offense. This is mostly going to include reading a defense and deciding mid-play whether to hand the ball to an inside Running Back, taking it to the edge and/or pitching it, or throwing a short Wide Receiver screen or slant route.
This type of offense is going to require at least one good running back in order to work, as well as an offensive line that's more tilted toward run blocking.
Spread Offense
A Spread offense is going to have a lot of WRs on the field at the same time, with usually only one RB on the field. These formations are usually going to keep opponents spread into Nickel or Dime formations to match, and you'll be able to utilize a lot of rollouts on pass plays where you can either throw on the run or run it with the QB.
This will require an offensive line capable of pass blocking, particularly your Tackles, who are going to need to keep opponent Defensive Ends/Outside Linebackers occupied for the rollout.
