so I did a quick google search.

we can try to tear this apart if we want, but this is interesting:

Shotgun or under center? College football's great short-yardage debate

Fans can complain all they want, but college football teams are more likely to convert in short yardage out of a shotgun formation.

I do, however, fully agree on fades. Low percentage of completion. Only

If the QB is the ball carrier, it makes a big difference

Yes, wholly agree with that.

There is a huge difference. I played TB in high school. When QB is under

Yes, RB has more speed at line but running under center also goes to a

Looks like your preference doesn't play out in the data...hat tip to Belboz

Looks like the QB sneak under center is the most successful

I agree with this...and we should run more of it. But not RB from under center.

I'm curious of your breakdown of the data? Please post the numbers you're using to support your claims.

Teams are more successful from shotgun from 3rd and 1, but fans don't care

I wonder what BYU's data is on this.

I would argue against Mitch Matthews on the goal line vs a 5'10" corner. I think we tried that

Another play I hate is 3rd and 4 and they throw it 25 yards down a sideline.

Or running a rout/throwing a pass three yards short of the line to gain.

On the fades, even if you have a good matchup I still don’t want it if we have 1 play to get it done

My least favorite play is the fumble touchback.

Bret Engemann running the option has to be up there.

Bobby Lee Swagger

When we run on fourth and short out of the gun there is usually passing option

QB sneak from shotgun! They'll never expect it!

that's probably 50% of Taysom Hill's plays at QB nowadays
