Guess we should tell all those teams that run similar formations and plays that they're wrong


What teams? Honostly,not a whole bunch of teams even running the wildcat these days and it's a very simple offense.We're not talking about a spread option here.

If they're teams out there running multiple plays and sets out of this basic formation I'm not aware of it.

It's not the wildcat I am referring to really. Several teams still do run it, though. For the life of me I can't remember who but a big game this past weekend had a team that would go to it for short yardage. The team that comes to mind for me, though, is Oklahoma.

They had Blake Bell who was their starting QB last year until he got hurt and lost out to Knight. He's pretty similar to Bauta, probably bigger, but very similar in style of play. Even when they had Landry Jones down in the redzone or sometimes short yardage they'd trot out the "Belldozer" and go from there.

It's not something I think anyone thinks is completely necessary but it could be an added wrinkle. Georgia could incorporate jet sweep fakes with Michel/IMac, a read option threat with Gurley/any RB and Bauta, and the threat of pass. Mason isn't much a run threat (he's not Greene slow but it's still not much of a threat) and with Bauta in you have a physical runner. Each play would make the defense think that much harder. A read option with an actual QB threat, the threat of a PA pass, and a tough guy who can go up the middle.

Like I said, Georgia doesn't need to do this but I wouldn't be dismissive of what it could potentially provide.

Here are some highlights of Bell. Ignore the plays he has outside of the Red Zone.

Also note these plays were all while Landry Jones was their starter.
