See what Pendergast was running at USC. 3-4 Okie type front that is sorta a throw back to a 5-2 with a twist or two..or five.

Info starts here:

Pendergast 5-2

That link will get you to another, which is what you are looking for.

I like how it compares the 5-2 to a 3-4 under and over and a 4-3 under.

In the late 60's I remember it called an okie front, a 50 front or an odd front. Since that time there have been lots of names and variations. Basically it is a 5 man front. Usually a nose, a pair of tackles and ends. Today they may be called outside linebackers. Even the nose has been moved off the center to the right or left. Some teams have used a small quick nose to shoot gaps. Today the fad is to use 325lb plus nose to eat up two blockers and to control two gaps.
