Why are teams derailing from the traditional I 2 back schemes to the one back gun. What does it force teams to defend? I just want to know the WHY aspect of the gun pkge.

The gun package gives you more of a running threat due to the option read on the backside of any given play. The gun option was made most famous by Northwestern and numerous other schools. The gun option due to the fact teams must be consciuos of the outside perimeter threat can make for a softer inside and limit coverages besides. Coach CAmpbell

Coach,

Greetings from Norman. I'm really looking forward to getting the gun manual! You've mentioned Northwestern in that connection from time-to-time on the message board. I believe you've even said at least part of your own offense was inspired by Northwestern. Is that so? And, could you elaborate a little on what Northwestern does? Thanks, Steve
