    If teams can line up with 5 wide receivers, why can't UW line up with 5 running backs. Why not revolutionize the game.

    You could have a backline like rugby.


    If you taught players to run trailers on every play you would have a never ending option down the field. Would actually be pretty hard to stop if mastered, but you'd also have like 6 fumbles/game.

    Nothing like seeing nine defenders on the line of scrimmage

    In theory, you could still run a normal offense, but instead of going into contact the runner would look to offload to backs trained to follow and flank.

    At it's best it would be Boise state vs Oklahoma. At it's worst it would be Reggie Bush vs Texas in the natty.

    In 7th grade we ran the "Bengal Blitz", sending all eleven defenders
