Split back to Shotgun

HEY MERVIN,

WHY WOULD YOU SUBJECT YOUR KIDS TO LEARNING two DIFFERENT OFFENSES HALF WAY THROUGH THE SEASON? BAD IDEA MY FRIEND. JUST MY OPINION AS ALWAYS.

Mervin,

Thanks for your explanation, I was looking at it in a different light. I see what your doing now, good luck with it.

Tiger doesn't let u get away with anything swervin MErvin. he's pretty sharp eh!
we are thinking of doing the same thing with our JV's .Split back but hoping to convert to GUN early cause you guys have me sold on gun this year. two good ways to teach the centers the gun snap.the goofy way with the hand on the end of the ball with the nose up actually works really well.i can even do it.with the JV's nice to have the UC option as well and can run alot of the same stuff anyway.i hope i'm not going to look like a fool switching to gun this year but i really liked it in Spring and so did our QB's.

I think this can be effective, but I can see trouble if you are running much option. I say that simply because the meshpoints (a "four-letter-word" for you Tiger, I know) and the timing is so much different, but if you are trying to focus on iso, sweep, speed option, and the passing game, I think there would be little different other than a few minor timing issues.

The way we run the option out of the shotgun and the splitback sets are both the same. The mesh points are not different for either offense. We have started implimenting the splitback on the JV level and so far so good.
