we didn't even run the pistol, did we?
we were in the pistol on Fournettes 83 yard run. Harris was lined up about 5 yards back with Fournette lined up just beside and back of Harris. Jeter was lined up in the backfield behind the tackle. Jeter came across taking the lead blocker role like a fullback and Harris just directly handed off to Fournette as you would on a dive play. It was a power run play out of a formation that spreads the defense out a little more, makes it easier to throw from and gives the d more to think about.

Is that formation usually referred to as the Pistol? I thought the Pistol had the RB behind the QB, and the QB halfway between where he would be in a Shotgun formation. Maybe that's just semantics, but that is was the traditional setup that Crowton ran a lot of.

If you mean the 87 yard run - second play of the second half - that was not the pistol formation. It was more of a spread - LF was off to Harris's right and just a bit back. The play started as a fake speed option right, then LF came back to take the handoff on a counter.
