I fully support this. I’m tempted to pin it at the top honestly.

How many seasons since that happened around this team?

Masoli was just QB Power but I don't think ever under center.

Chip Kelly flexed (with poor results) some under-center plays with DT when people starting saying his offense wouldn’t translate to the NFL.

We ran under center against SE Missouri St in maybe 2010 or 2011. LMJ took a handoff for a long TD. That was the only time I ever recall going under center with Chip.
We may have gone under center on Blount's safety in 09 against Boise St too?

I liked it because it worked. It worked because they knew they could muscle EWU back. It won’t always work, but it’s best when executed in a hurry up.
Maybe the best part or Cristobal leaving is no more Cyrus Habibi-Likio or equivalent type 3rd and 1 telegraphed, slow developing dive plays up the middle.

I would like to see a running back behind him to give him a push from behind and also to eliminate the defense knowing that anytime it's an empty backfield in that situation a qb sneak is coming.

Good point. It does mean taking away a blocker at the LOS without taking a defender away from there. It may make someone more hesitant to crash the LOS.nogerO wrote:I would like to see a running back behind him to give him a push from behind and also to eliminate the defense knowing that anytime it's an empty backfield in that situation a qb sneak is coming.
If Dillingham wants to be a gambler, a fake sneak with an empty backfield and a go route would be beautiful to see.

Re: Under center QB sneak for a 1st down!
Masoli was never under center. It worked but it also used to drive me crazy how they didn't try a qb sneak from center just a few times with a big running qb like him. I don't know this for a fact but if I had to guess the last qb to sneak it under center is Fife. Joey Harrington definitely did too if Fife didn't but if Fife is the answer, then that would be a great trivia question.Duck07 wrote:Kellen Clemens?woundedknees wrote:How many seasons since that happened around this team?
