New Mexico's unique offense features a conga line behind the QB

Bob Davie's offense at New Mexico is pretty awesome to watch. The Lobos are running the triple option, but they're running it out of the pistol formation. Here's one set:

Davie's not the first coach to have triple option looks out of the pistol, but man, I've never seen a formation like this:

This formation is like the Maryland I, but it's being run out of the shotgun. Normally, the Maryland I is a formation you run in extreme power offense scenarios -- like on the goal line, when you want your RB to have two lead blockers -- but in Davie's offense, it's not about power at all.

Here are some plays I've drawn up for this formation:

• Three straight play action fakes, one to each running back
• The QB and first two running backs suddenly sprint away from the middle as the ball is snapped to the REAL quarterback, the guy all the way in the back
• All four players re-enact the film "Human Centipede," totally grossing out the opponent while somebody runs into the end zone uncontested

Luckily, Bob Davie is a much better coach than I am, and therefore has real plays for these scenarios.
