I do know from running Red Faught's R&S in college that a lot of the principles are like Tiger's, but what Georgetown College ran was a combination of Faught's R&S, Tempo Wing-T, and the triple option. Faught's R&S is nothing like Mouse's. GC was run first, pap type team. That run was at it's most effective when we ran the triple option. 1991 team averaged 59.5 points a game for 14 games, most of those scores came on the ground or through play-action passes. We pretty much only had 3 passing plays, popcorn, squirrel, and gangster, out of the R&S formation and we pretty much just ran the triple-option. We got you to bite up on the triple and then threw it over your head. Out of the Wing-T there were more tosses, sweeps, powers, and play-action passes. There were entire games where we never got out of a tackle over wing-t formation. We ran everything out of a sugar huddle and tried to snap the ball every 8 seconds. Nobody was really doing the no-huddle thing back then. <br />I run the Tony Franklin System now, a lot of the idea is the same, hit them quick, spread them out. But with Tony's System I ran into trouble my first few years because I wanted to go down the field too much. I had to learn to keep throwing those fast screens and then start calling plays off it. The fast screens for TFS are like the triple option. They make you spread out and come up defensively to take away a 3-4 yard gain and then you can go over their heads with Hi-Lo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887802820654018134.post-16548475356300138922010-04-16T18:52:39.853-05:002010-04-16T18:52:39.853-05:00@mick - "The problem I see with this post(and...@mick - "The problem I see with this post(and many other posts on this site) is that you make a statement .... that we are asked to accept as a fact with no proof.

Most of the traps left in the game use influence steps or other type of scheme changes. Also disagree other wing-t plays are in the NFL. Sweep, power, belly and other g schemes are not all plays invented by the wing-t. What makes it different is it is a system with other compliments and faking off it. Some teams use power from an I back set or sweep from I back... just doesn't have the same backfield action as a wing-t scheme. You simply do not see series football like the wing-t at the NFL level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887802820654018134.post-29457564542218526992010-04-16T12:02:06.912-05:002010-04-16T12:02:06.912-05:00The problem I see with this post(and many other po...The problem I see with this post(and many other posts on this site) is that you make a statement "...but whose trap and cross buck run game is no longer feasible at the higher levels due not only to increased speed, but schematic evolution as well." that we are asked to accept as a fact with no proof.
