[QUOTE="Techster, post: 121879, member: 360"] I think if you do a QB sneak there's merit to your point, however, if you're handing the ball off, any "off the snap" advantage is negated. Here's an interesting study, though it was only done on 4th and short situations in the NFL: [url]http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/62665328/[/url] Although the data points are far less for the spread/read formations compared to the "traditional" power formations, it does suggest that spreading the field is more advantageous than cramming the LOS and trying to beat the defense "mano-e-mano". Unfortunately they did not delineate where the QB took the snap...from the gun or UC. Another interesting stat, though you'd have to take a larger leap in interpreting the data is this: [url]http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/699[/url] Obviously, we're being specific about short yardage situations, but it is interesing that 3 of the 5 teams with the highest third down conversion rates are teams known for playing out of the gun. Alabama can be put in either category as they have been playing out of the pistol and spread a lot more this year. [/QUOTE]
