[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 378601, member: 3094"] This is pretty much what i've seen. One of the problems Georgia Southern had this year running form the gun, besides the QB not making the correct reads, was the dive play was completely non-existant. Auburn's ends were basically able to play both the QB and the Dive on every play. Fritz's offense also ran into this issue despite being more successful ( mostly due to southern having a phenomnimal GCG that year and the year after). Navy only went 6-6 this year operating primarily out of gun formation sbecause Abey and Perry both couldn't really run the under center stuff well. Monken has always had one or two shotgun formations that he has used everywhere he has gone. However those formations are usually not used for option plays outside of outside zone and usually are used for a few short passes. He put them in his playbook when he had shaw. Ran none of them his first year at army and only ran some of it this year due to bradshaw being his primary and only real homerun threat. The only formation monken likes to use that i think we could use is the short pistol flex formation. I think we could do a bit with that but really if you can do the under center read you don't really need that one. also to add about monken, he used none of them when he had mckinnon and ellison takign snaps [/QUOTE]
