click on each school to see charts of their different formations

WSU is always shotgun, usually 1 back, 4 wide, sometimes 2 backs 3 wide

(Arizona's another school wtih very few formations)

Alabama does every formation under the sun

Big question to solve in college football is how do you get all the offensive benefits of a simple offense trained repeatedly to perfection vs running a multiple offense that trains your defense for everything they might come across.  I think it makes sense for Bama to train their defense because they will always be able to move the ball just through being bigger and faster than everyone.  It also makes sense for WSU to go higher risk and assume their defense is going to stink no matter what

Reminds me of WVU in 2011 not knowing what to do against SU even though SU wasn't that good.  totally unprepared on defense.  but should they abandon that offense or is that letting the perfect be the enemy of the good?

It's too bad offenses and defenses from different conferences couldn't practice against each other for short stints.
