I had the opportunity to go to one spring practice a year for three years in a row from 2010-12 due to the HS coaches clinic. Every practice they ran a 5 minute period devoted to nothing but the wildcat formation. By my 3rd year, me and another coaching buddy made fun of the period because they spent so much time on the wildcat but hardly ever ran it over those three years.

We've seen the wildcat with LF7 twice I think. And before that with Ware maybe 5 times, mostly in the last 4 games of 2011. SMDH.

Should've been running it with Ford anyway, or Sheppard.

A running back taking a direct snap is not "wildcat". Les would stick Ware and LF at qb and run power run plays. Wildcat has jet sweep action and the option to run the ball wide or run counter plays creating indecision in the defense.

Both practiced it. They had a first, second and third team wildcat unit every year I was there. And all the units got reps. The problem was that they hardly ran it in games so it made it a complete waste of practice time. And when consider that they spent 5 minutes doing Big Cat drill, the amount of wasted practice time really added up.

Notbrunningbthe wildcat several times per game with Shepard is the most ignorant thing I've ever seen in college football at LSU.
Miles was a moron and still is. He has no clue how to run anything. Good person and recruiter, and it ends there.

Good riddance to that dumb frick
