Box Formation or Inverted Bone

Thanks. That is nice site I haven't seen before.

The only major college I ever saw run the INVERTED BONE was Colorado when Eddie Crowder was HFC (early to mid 1970's). They called it the "DIAMOND" formation. Check thru the AD at Colorado to see how you can get in touch with Eddie Crowder!

MY LAST YEAR IN THE PROFESSIONAL MINOR LEAGUES I REVERTED TO USING THE INVERTED BONE AS A SUPER WAY OF GETTING EXTRA PROTECTION FOR THE QB, WHEN NOT IN OUR 3 X 2 SPREAD AND WANTED TO RUN A SHORT THREE STEP GAME AT TIMES. I WENT WITH DOUBLE TITES AND KEPT THE INVERTED SPLITS VERY TIGHT ALSO! WE RAN A LOT OF OUR 50 SERIES PASSES FROM THIS FORMATION WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF SUCCESS, AS WELL AS, SOME POWER RUNNING STUFF.

Coach,

I take for granted you mean by the "BOX FORMATION" you mean the old single wing base offensive formation? There are numerous scources on the web at any number of sites about it. Check them until you find what your looking for. It was the first formation I ever ran as a QB in Jr. High School in 1954. If I can help, just ask.
