Why isn't the wishbone a true T-O? The QB makes a read for the dive and then the pitch. We ran the wishbone in HS and there were always 3 options for the QB in our offense.
I think of the wishbone as a formation out of which running a triple option is one possible play. We "ran" the wishbone in high school and although a triple option was our most common play, we ran many other plays from that "wishbone" formation.Why isn't the wishbone a true T-O?

Not that I believe what I read on the internet.
I agree with that 100%. The 3-O is a play, like a belly or counter-buck or whatever. A 3-O can be ran out of many formations. I interpreted the comment I responded to as the 3-O ran out of the Wishbone formation was not considered a "true 3-O" formation. That's what I was questioning.I think of the wishbone as a formation out of which running a triple option is one possible play.

That would have been a great quesion for you to ask coach on his call show. I've always gotten through when I've called.On the Offense---why didn't we run the midline(QB follow) off right Guard ,Mason A LOT? It seems the DT was shading outside him even though the NG was straight up on Burden.The LB was 3-4 yds back. It seems behind an All-am OG we could get good yds all day if Burden can neutralize NT and bback can take LB ..Why didn't we run this?
It seemed we ran it on left side with little success.
midline is tough to run against a defense with a man head up the center. Considering, a typical midline is run right down the mid-line of the offense (meaning, right behind the center) towards the 3-technique side (outside shoulder of OG), you can't do that with a nose player.On the Offense---why didn't we run the midline(QB follow) off right Guard ,Mason A LOT?

You could run a variation and not block the DT playing on the OT, but that becomes a very tough read since the DT will be crashing down the line on both the give and the QB keep. Maybe that's a different play...kind of an inverted veer, but form under center.
