Pitch (the option song)
Bring the flexbone back to North Avenue,
Two A-backs wide and a B-back comin' through,
Quarterback reads it, defense don't know what to do,
Forty-two rush calls and maybe throw it two.

I gather that no one playing college football is very good… unless… there was a cat with a really good screenplay idea … who was up at 4 AM… drawing up offensive plays out of a modified flexbone…

Constructed an interesting counterfactual history in my head while mowing my lawn Friday where after 2024 instead of hiring Ben Arbuckle and acquiring Mateer OU instead goes flexbone and keeps Michael Hawkins to run it

Excluding flexbone teams, West Virginia's 76 rushing attempts today were the fifth most in regulation by any FBS team since 1999

All-time weird box score

Northwestern is doing the thing we always say the lower-resourced teams should do: Run the flexbone.
It's working.

If anyone else was the OC at Northwestern, I'd be all in on the flexbone cats. Still mostly in, but it's Chip Kelly needs to be [redacted] forever.
20 years of "only Pat Fitzgerald could win at Northwestern" and there's a decent chance the random guy they swapped in because nobody else was available has already put together a better team than any team in the entire Fitzgerald era.

Lots of Paul Johnson, Georgia Southern, service academy flexbone in that DNA. The wide A-back outside the TE on the right end is a nod to rules changes, but that motion leading into the belly run is Old School goodness.

We really don’t get one down block in there do we? Wild stuff. Pretty sure they broke out a flexbone play at some point too.
