Upper peninsula Michigan's Menominee Maroons have been running single wing since the 1960s... Needless to say they have it perfected and are blowing out tough competition ... Heading for another state title hopefully this year!
Not if they are playing National Federation Rules(High School). 2013 rulebook page30 under Free Blocking Zone explains blocking below the waist rules and backs cannot do it unless they are on the line of scrimmage against linemen only (not LB's or DB's)
read the whole section and it will show that blocking below the waist is only legal when its lineman against lineman and only when the ball is in the free blocking zone, not backs,not downfield. Clipping is a separate issue.
Im studying this offense to really learn it in great detail, did i really see on 1 play 4 guys block the same player. Isnt that kind of a wasted man? I understand as a former lineman, you cant always reach your block but it looked drawn up that way just the way everyone stopped on him.
Great job coach...I love this offense. Do you ever get negative feedback from the community reference this offense. I'm a big fan of the single wing. I think it is an offense were the players really earn every yard as a team. I run it at a youth level 12-13 years. Parents call it a pee-wee offense. I tell them that Tim Tebow ran it at Florida and Denver. Needless to say they have nothing else to say and shut-up....!
love watching it but there were several illegal blocks below the waist in the film. A back can never block below the waist in hs football. Only linemen against lineman.
Everyone runs a version of spread, not everyone runs an offense with 2-4 guys who are runners and passers. This would be a great offense to run if you had two or three guys that could do it all run and pass and one guy great at the 3 yards and blocking
That one kid had to be a basketball player because only a bball player can dribble the pigskin, pick it up, and go 20 something yards with it. I've seen it happen and the back that did it was a bball player.
I love watching single wing football. I hope there will always be a lot of coaches to pass along a great tradition.
This is pretty cool. My dad's high school team in the early 60's ran the single wing. I remember watching his highlight films.
great blocking upfront! Really impressed with your o-line work, coach.
#44 is a beast.

Those tackles are putting in work.
Thats football the way the Good Lord intended.
Running off-tackle in the mud - GOD, I love this offense!
@jollyroger, this team is from MA. MA and TX don't use NFHS rules, they use NCAA rules; thus the FBZ cut blocking rules don't apply.
Played against a single wing team once in high school. Nearly impossible to figure out where the ball is when you don’t see this offense often.
Follow the guards. They take you to the ball. Everyone else play sound gap control and you can beat the wing t.
What a hard runner #44 is. nice video.
THIS IS FOOTBALL! Awesome job Coach.
That’s some great stuff - LOVE IT!!!!

Rafael I think Tim Tebow ran the Spread option at Florida and the regular read option at Denver not the single wing.
Juan Marquez so much of the “spread option” that was run at Florida under Meyer had heavy single wing influence in it though.
awesome coaching!!!!
This offense is a Great equalizer.
Woody Hayes is somewhere watching this breathing heavily
Wasn’t Malzhan influenced by that offense?
Great video and great music. I love the single wing coming back into HS football. What is the opening music? I would like to get that.

This is the same offense we run with 11-12 year old kids and won 3 championships in a row!!
Johnny King. Hey Johnny. I want run this offense for my 11-12 team here in Texas. Do you mind sharing some knowledge.
Love the play at about 9:07! Was that a designed bounce pass to himself or did he improvise that one on his own?!?! LOL Awesome stuff, Coach!!

i dont care how much your Oline coach gets paid, give him a raise... great blocking by the line

It helps when the opposing teams can't tackle
