Wake Forest's delayed run offense is very interesting.

Check this video for context
Cant say I've seen anything like it. Helps that their QB seems to have some good decision making skills as well. Wonder if other teams will start to adopt.

And their coach is who got Fulmer fired when he wouldn't let him run his own offense.

Clawson has been an excellent coach since the 2008 disaster. Makes me think the Pumpkin was sabotaging things.

Looks a lot like Auburn under Malzahn with Nick Marshall t QB.

It looks like they’re just trying to slow down the DL without an actual threat of a QB run. The only time I saw the QB keep it was a busted pass play that turned into a scramble. Seemed to be effective enough to get the RB some extra space though. By the end of the video, the DL definitely wasn’t pushing down field much.

The OL blocking scheme is what’s most interesting about that to me. They’re essentially just getting a helmet on a helmet and hoping for a stalemate to allow the RB to find the hole with the most space.
Odd looking, but a great way to minimize a talent gap vs a better team and exploit one vs a worse team. Fascinating, IMO.

Indeed, very interesting. I have my doubts about it being successful against a superior defense, though. Anybody with speed and penetration will blow that style up quickly.

The delay is actually a scheme from their OC (Warren Ruggiero), and is meant to help protect the QB—it's sort of like an option play, but at the more protected mesh point.
From a spread formation they use it to primarily run a dive, a QB keeper, or a pass.
Because it takes so long, it allows the QB to make multiple reads instead of the traditional one, meaning that there are more chances for one of those keyed defenders to bust his assignment.
