Here's a quote/stat from an article that just went up on DawgNation. It illustrates a point I'm trying to make.

quote:

Georgia was in the shot-gun or the pistol for more than 80 percent of its offensive plays at Notre Dame. That’s quite remarkable for a  program that’s been known for a pro-style offense, the I-formation and its star tailbacks


Why are we in the shotgun over 80% of the time with the running backs we have? It's also hard to run play action in a shotgun. In fact, it's downright impossible.

Whoever started the thread about Chaney being our downfall may end up being right. We have no identity because of Chaney's stupidity.

If that's the article from Seth, it also calls out that we were most successful running the ball from the shotgun/pistol. This is *most* likely due to a lack of faith/belief in the interior of our OL right now. Additionally, in order to allow Fromm to run simpler RPOs, a shotgun snap gives him a better chance of having success. If we get to the point where we have enough confidence in the OL to hold up, you'll probably see a bit more under center/I formation snaps, but that likely is only going to come *after* we have more than just moderate success in the intermediate to deep passing game. Until then, teams have no real reason not to load the box up and read run. The upside is that Fromm is showing that he can make the throws... it just needs to get more consistent and we need the receivers to catch what comes their way.
