Agreed. I want to see some pistol formation with 3-4 wideouts. Get as many people out of the box as possible, we can run play action without Danny having to turn his back to the defense(he can just turn to the sideline to hand the ball off, not turn completely around), and it allows Fournette to be deep enough to find holes.

Well, they arent really "play actions" as they are Run/Pass Options....thats why they appear fast. Ole Miss has been doing this since Freeze got there and it's always pissed Saban off.

So much to the fact that he tried to have this type of offense banned by having the Officials enforce a 3 yard linemen downfield rule.

Basically, they are run plays with a WR tag where the QB has ONE read to see if he can take the WR pre snap, or post snap when reading the odd man out of the blocking scheme.

EX: if you have five linemen in blocking, and they have six in the box, you count number 6 away from the run direction and if he shoots into the run game, you throw right off of him. Slants, hitches, pivots, skinny posts etc.

Its a good offense.

Releasing the TEs to the vacated LB zones will also slow them down and force the Safeties into pass coverage.
