Wildcat Formation.wmv

[13craj]

its still called the single wing offense if they ran it tight and powerful, its perfect for high school

[MrAUFANATIC]

THAT FORMATION IS WRONG OR ITS PROBABLY HOW IT USED TO BE BUT NORMALLY ITS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ITS THE TE, LG, C, RG, RT, LT IF THE RUN IS GOING TO THE RIGHT OR UP THE MIDDLE WITH THE LG PULL, OR FLIP FLOP IF ITS GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION

@ACDC4life1 The "wildcat" is a shotgun or shotgun spread formation where the ball is snapped to an athletic player (mostly RB's, but sometimes WR's) who is not a QB on the depth chart roster. Teams like Florida in Tebow's years and Auburn with Cam Newton run that same thing, they are just able passers and list as QB's on the roster. RB or WR Wildcat plays are rarely passes, it turns shotgun into a run offense by eliminating the QB & RB handoff that slows plays and risks fumble in shotgun runs

College and High Schools teams have always used it. Anyone who thinks the NFL set trends do not know anything about football.

I believe the term "wildcat" came from Kansas State. Because they were one of the first college teams to use it. Then Houston Nutt made it big by calling it the "wild hog" and arkansas and now calling it the "wild rebel" now at ole miss

Wow news 8, that's my area.

Anyway, I'd like to know why they call it the "Wildcat". It's really just the single wing formation that was created in 1906. So where does it get the name Wilcat from?

My high school ran an offense similar to that. We used the Wing T and almost ALWAYS ran the football.

I believe that the Wildcat formation was created by double-wing guru Hugh Wyatt while coaching the La Center (WA) High School Wildcats. I agree that it must be based on Warner's century-old work.

Please complete your comment. Are you asking about the purpose of the comment or the purpose of the Wildcat formation?

[Jean1juan]

never mind, i get it.

hey let me ask you a question?

can offense linemen block by grabbing the shoulderpads or shirt to drive the defense back?

can they hand chop?

(smacking down the defenses face.

[Jean1juan]

can you add me to your contacts if you're a football fan. i always got a lot of questions, since i'm a new player

@TomBenjey This one is correct. Wyatt is the high school coach that really had major modern success, and consequently he named it the wildcat formation at his school. Malzahn is a student of the game and came across Wyatt's notes on how to run this offense against modern high school defenses. Malzahn did implement some of these ideas in his Shiloh Christian and Springdale High School programs. And then Arkansas had success with the formation and the rest is modern history.

@DJ80s The Wing T is the original use of that sort of formation, the Wildcat is a newer version that was created By Gus Malzahn (now Off Coordinator at Auburn) when he was coaching my alma mater Springdale High (AR). He spent one year as Off Coord at U of AR (thats when Houston Nutt changed it to Wildhog) which is the year this mordern version was popularized. The real difference of Wildcat from Wing T is the Wildcat is a formation derived more to suit modern passing Shotgun and Spread offenses

[jdneighbo1]

@DJ80s There is no particular reason he named it "wildcat", was just the name he gave that formation in his playbook. When he first implemented it in 2005, Springdale High had possibly the best offense in the history of AR high school football. QB Mitch Mustain won every H.S. National Player of the Year award, they beat three different MaxPreps National top 20 teams, and every game except the AR 5A Championship game was "Mercy Ruled" by halftime and the starters rarely played in the second half

[bigandrich001]

dude no sh!t theres more than one. I can come up with 20 right of the top of my head.

[bobleheadproduction]
