[quote author=Boston Card link=topic=15750.msg173027#msg173027 date=1474784572]We also ran a lot of wildcat today... it was neither a catastrophic failure nor an overwhelming success,  but I was a bit surprised that nobody wrote about how the wildcat is a waste unless you have some action with it.

I wasn't a fan of running it twice in a row.

The problem with the wildcat (at least how we do it) is that the defense expects a run, so 9 times out of 10 the play goes no where.

But the 1 out of 10 times Shaw calls something different... end sweep, or the RB actually throws it. Remember the 2013 Rose Bowl?

Some day I'm actually going to gather up all the statistics to show that this is wrong. Unless you show your work, as WIM mentioned, I call bullshit. I'm going to guess the Wildcat, especially with CMac, gets 5 yards much more often than it gets 1 yard.
