  (TE)......       (OT)....      (OG)....       (Ctr).
Outside - Wide - Inside - Midline.... the difference is just where the back is looking to hit. The running game is pretty straightforward and easy to understand. (As opposed to pass plays where everything has multiple layers.)

Really good article with lots of videos: https://247sports.com/college/ucla/Article/UCLA-Football-Zone-Run-Glossary-153192813/

I'd edit this to say most teams have a zone scheme within their running game, but today most teams have hybrid running games. Even guys off the Shannahan tree aren't running straight zone schemes anymore and mixing some other concepts in now.
