New Topic: Wing-T Offense?

They might have been talking about the single wing offense, AKA the wildcat.

We played our offense similar to the old Wing T, but we were running shotgun mostly as opposed to the under center Wing T. I think it was just Urban Meyer using a recognizable name for a formation that was similar, but not identical.

The Wing T is the old-time formation that featured the quarterback as the primary runner, so they were just saying that philosophically, that's basically what we're doing with Denard -- our primary running back takes the snap and often has a running back or tight end on either side to serve as a blocker.

It wasn't a new "formation," it was just Meyer's way of explaining what we we do offensively in more specific way than just calling it "the spread," which has countless variations.

It's a very diverse offensive set which uses considerable motion and misdirection. But you can run power ISO runs, triple option, and a ton counters and sweep runs, where the lineman are pulling or trapping. The favorite and most explosive play is arguably the 41 buck sweep which involves the wingback going outside on a run play and a guard pulling all the way to knock out a freaking cornerback.  It's pretty wacked by today's standards.  Popular at the high school level still, but I don't know a single football team at the college level that runs it anymore.

I consider the passing offense to be pretty rudementary though, but there are some cool pass plays for the TE, WB and flanker.

More on the Winged-T here.

The single wing was what urban was discussing which essently relies on one player tuning in the main blockers direction which would be a somewhat accurate description of what we run except with a slight variation in the alignment so as it becomes a hybrid with the double wing offense well the wing t formation relies uPon motion of slot reievers type wingbacks to move the ball along with a dive full back used to run trap plays which is most defenitly not what was being discussed our close to what we are running

far from the wing - t ... but they may have worked much better than us throwing 25 yard passes in 200 mph winds all day
