A-11 Offense

(no message)

There is absolutely no way it would work against the caliber of a team like LSU. Any powerhouse in football in wouldn't work against.

The offense looks good on paper, but there's too much going on. I mean that's great and all to have two QB's but what happens when the D-line is just as fast as the QB and you can't throw it backwards to the other guy? I've watched film and read about it and I really just don't think it could work on a consistent basis. Sure, it would work sometimes, but if North Texas came out running it I don't think it would make a difference at all. Then other schools won't run it on a regular basis. Urban tried it one play and virtually got his QB killed. No head coach of a good team is going to switch his entire philosophy.

A-11 is a gimmick offense like the "lonesome polecat". Doubtful it would ever become a base offense for a top tier Div I program. One thing is for sure you better have a QB with wheels!

I played against it in High School, a school called Lake Howell in Orlando, Florida ran it. They had terrible athletes and couldn't run it smoothly at all. They didn't win a game all year.

I think it can work in small doses but with a Perriloux/Flynn type QB mix. I doubt it'll ever be mainstream but wouldn't be suprised to see an OC like coach Crowton try a couple plays sometime...
