When I watch the Gopher offense this year, I keep thinking back to the 2013 Texas Bowl and the interesting formations, shifts and motion we saw in the backfield with the tight ends, the full backs and the wide receiver. If I recall, these were new wrinkles inserted for the bowl game. What seemed effective was bringing the wide out in motion and regularly faking the hand off to him or even just bringing him in motion before a hand-off to Cobb.
If you have some time and want to re-watch the game, you can find it on ESPN. I created this thread to find out from the GH crew why we stopped using these formations. It seems to me that these maneuvers create at least a little confusion for a defense. Does anyone know why we don't use these wrinkles any longer?
