That way we can have one to swing out into the pass pattern and the other can stay very deep in the backfield to defend against interception returns. :(

Ain't going to happen. What you are seeing is what we are going to have till he either starts winning or is carried out of here.
We already run two RBs. But you can't leave one to block. Defense is already outnumbering you. There's no excuse for not blocking 3.
Guess I should have added the sarcasteriks. Thought it was implied.
We don't need 5 OL for the piss poor job they have been doing. Put 3 OL to defend against 3 and use two more TEs or WRs or RBs or whatever.
This OL is the most disappointing thing about this team.
Double trips formation is about the closest thing we could do to achieve more available pass catching options.
4 down lineman, trips on either side of the ball. Seen it done before and it can be effective in opening up some space by flooding the hell out of zones. Gives your zone defenders too many options to have to account for in space.
Additionally if the defense does try and blitz out of it, you now have taken an additional defender out of the picture and you've got 6 on 7 instead of a 5 on 8 situation.
We ran one play (that I recall in a 2 back set). Washington St ran two back a few times in the game linked. Therefor I assume we haven't seen two back but once because we don't execute it well in practice or do other things better. Either way 2 back is in the Leach offense.

We could always try the A-11. I haven't heard Leach speak on it specifically, but I feel certain he's a fan of it.

(Note I'm being like 90% sarcastic. But not 100%. I'd love to see a college team adapt this into something. Probably not us though.)
Are y'all not getting the OP's joke or are you just determined to talk about us running two-back sets?.... (By the way, we run a lot two-back. We started both the LSU and UK games in a two-back set.)
