What to call the wildcat formantion

[HuskerInLostWages]

I say we call it the Tyranosaurus Rex, at least for the next 3 years. T Rex for short.

The "Jesus Christ please give us a damn touchdown" formation.

 

 

The "Jesus Christ please give us a damn touchdown" formation.

 

 

That's the third best so far.

 

Nice work.

Sorry, that's a disqualifier.

 

You will be criticized by some here by using the "God card," and we wouldn't want to scare them away. Boogity Boogity.

It would be perfectly fine with me if the entire college football watching world just called it "The Wildcat" no matter who runs it or where. As others far more astute than I have pointed out, every f'ing school doesn't get a special name for when they line up in the shotgun, under center or virtually any other formation. This obsession with having a unique cutesy name for every team in the country that runs this old gimmick play is getting old. "Trickeration" old.

Booyah.

I was thinking the "Wild Cob"

 

What else? WildRex

[UGAHusker]

"The Ernie Chambers". Doesn't get any crazier or "wild" than that.

Wow!!!

It amazes me that, we find a WRINKLE that works and the people that were bitching about the offense are now bitching about this. It's not "our offense," it's a wrinkle nothing more.

 

I don't give a sh#t what they call it, it works so the name don't mean dick.

i'll admit that it worked for us, and has worked wonders for other teams, but i have an honest question. whats the difference between running the wildcat and any other offense if your QB can run?

I think you are about there, but this term sounds like I need Penicillin to get rid of it.

[I See Red People]

yes wildcat works.

There's a huge difference if your entire offense isn't predicated on using a running QB often. The distinction is in that, in a wildcat, you are using 2 very competent runners, as opposed to one very competent (RB) and one marginally competent (QB) runner. There aren't enough legitimate running threat QBs to go around and, even if there were, it wouldn't behoove every offense to turn to using them.

 

In my opinion it is still substandard to a triple-option package, though.

There needs to be a poll on this.
