I was searching old topics and came across where people mentioned they ran the spread wing t, both under center and from shotgun. I have seen some shotgun stuff before, but am interested in learning spread shotgun under center. I am not a wing t guy, just always interested in learning football. I have a few questions...What formations are most commonly used? What plays do you run? Any info that can be shared would be appreciated...Also, any info that I can be pointed to is appreciated....You can answer me here or pm/email me, thanks in advance.

Best one back formations are: Loose, Spread, Red, Blue
You can run anything you run out of wing t. Last year we ran Jet Sweep, Rocket, Belly Series. You can also run the Buck series, especially out of the Red and Blue formations

Also midline and veer are good series, but I have never felt I had sufficient time to put in option. Rocket motion can really get a player in good pitch relationship. I have also in the past integrated a run and shoot package with jet motion.

Red means strong right, 2 wingbacks; Blue strong left, 2 wingbacks; Spread means no TEs, 2 wingbacks; Loose means no TEs, the 2 wingbacks are aligned 11 feet from the Tackles

Buck series is the bucksweep, fb trap, and the waggle play (Fake sweep and trap, bootleg from the sweep action).
Down series is similar to the belly. The down play is a quicker hitter to the FB and is a great offtackle play against a 5 man front. The other plays in the series are option, keep pass and counter.

Makes sense, thanks, any resources that you can point me to? Should I start to look at "regular" wing t stuff, then look how to adapt it to these spread sets? Any articles, playbooks, etc., thanks again for your help.

I began by learning the basic wing-t. I had some ok success with it, but ran into some difficulties that made me switch to spread type sets. My lineman wanted to be tight ends and fullbacks rather than offensive lineman. I eliminanted the TE position and went with the spread, loose and trips sets. As we have gotten stronger in the weightroom I want to have more two back sets (100,900 and all other variations), and believe we won't lose our best lineman to power type skill positions. I do have a player who would be a starting guard (very important wing t lineman), but has his heart set on playing TE now. I think we may be ok however. As far as resources I have over 100 videos on the wing-t. I think the best is videos by Dennis Creehan, the Malvern Speed sweep video and Bob Cobleigh, who is a good mixture of traditional wing-t and spread type wing-t.

If you are in the North East I would say go and visit coach Bill Zwaan at West Chester University of PA.....He runs the wing-t out of spread sets as well as tradition sets....another school up here in the cold would be Carngie Mellon University in Pittsburgh PA they also run the wing -t from spread sets.....If south of the Mason Dixon line go to Cumberland University in Tennessee they run a bunch of spread sets and the wing-t offense. Also Wofford University in South Carolina they are more or less wing-t some will say they are an option offense but they run a ton of rocket and belly series.....also check out jetsweep.com the OC from Cumberland runs that site...... happy hunting.
