Whats the next college football offensive fad?
Over the years we've gone through "fads" if you will concerning offensive styles from the wishbone to the pro set to the spread.

How will football change in the next 10 years?

I wouldn't really say they are fads. More an evolution of the game.

A resurgence of the Wishbone, Full House, I-Formation, Wing-T as football reverts back to a power running game!

After that, they'll run 5 WR sets, but declare random linemen as eligible receivers, effectively gaining 3 yards in the air but 10 YAC each play as no one can take down the new Nose Tackles-converted-to-Receiving Centers.

Elimination of the QB and simply run from a full time WildCat formation. All eligible receivers are trained to pass and pass effectively.

I read an article about the air raid with Mike Leach in the early years that talked about their gaps when he first started putting the system in and how revolutionary it was. Texas Tech QB's rarely got sacked too, and Carden only got sacked 29 times last year which is amazing for the amount we throw. We have to have one of the better sack percentages in the nation. I could see offenses pushing the envelopes more with gaps as well.

Just about everything new is a rehash of something old with a new name and a little polish. Case in point the “Wildcat” offense has been around since Pop Warner coached in 1907 and it was called the “Single Wing”.

If there were a D1 coach out there with any stones who could handle the pressure from the media and fans that wanted to try something truly new he would implement this system.

I've been saying that for years, particularly the bolded comment. While not an exact duplicate, the principles are very, very close. Very perceptive on your part.

Common conversation when I bring that up:
-"But you don't understand the complexities of the Wildcat."

answer:
-"Maybe you don't understand the principles of the single wing/Notre Dame Box and executing it correctly."

I'd say the same thing about the Wishbone/Veer. There were merely improvements and tweaks to the old "option" and putting players in the best position to succeed.

QB's either thinking about faking or pretending to fake.

RE: Whats the next college football offensive fad?
I don't like any offense which does not involve a bona-fide fullback. When I see 1-back sets in the red zone, I throw up in my mouth a little. 03-banghead

The old single-wing offense is deadly when executed correctly and I will always love the wishbone and veer, but they are fumble-prone. Possibly the best team Memphis ever had was in 1976. We beat Ole Miss, Miss State and Auburn that year and had Tennessee down and by the throat but fumbled it away, running the veer. That great team, finished 7-4, but sat at home after fumbling another game away on a rainy night (@ Southern Miss) with a Peach Bowl invite on the line.

The Nickel and Dime Offense

It revolves around performance based incentives.

$300.00 for a passing touchdown.
$500.00 for a 300 yard passing game.
$500.00 for a 100 yard rushing game (plus $10.00 for every yard over 100).
$200.00 for a receiving touchdown.
$300.00 for a rushing touchdown inside of 20 yards (plus $50 each 10 yards extra of the run).
............................

RE: Whats the next college football offensive fad?
I think the running QB will eventually go to an extreme we haven't yet seen. Now that a huge amount of teams are running pistol/shotgun anyway, there is very little point in handing the ball off outside of misdirection. I could see QB/RB morphing into 1 position to have the QB running all of the normal run plays with 6-7 QBs on the team in case of injury or to rotate in the same way teams use RBBC. It wipes out wasted motion of handoffs and can give you an additional blocker somewhere else. It also allows for a lot more options for post-snap reads for the QB to either run or pass.

Handoffs are hardly a waste. You couldn't do play action without handoffs. If anything i'd call for more fake handoffs in the form of timed options.

Really? Were they both in the backfield? Think how scary it would be if either guy in the shot gun formation backfield could get the snap???

In effect, every play is a play action. Instead of faking to a RB, the "RB" already has the ball.

How can you have a play action if you cant fake the handoff?
