Buckeyes are thinkin bought running it. Why don't we? For those who have no ****ing idea what it is, basically the QB lines up in a short shotgun with the Tailback 7 yards deep. it combines the advantages of the shotgun and the singleback offense when it works.
Disadvantages? Well, QB is closer to the line on most plays, also, its hard to fit a FB in there with the QB already in shotgun.
My thoughts:
We like Cody in the gun, this gets us there.
We like Scott Deep. This gets him that head of steam.
Our FB's already can't get a head of steam in the offense we are running anyways.
Also, it allows for all sorts of trickery which Helfrich and Hawk love, so it keeps them happy...
A pic of a standard pistol play...
