Hey don't insult us Single Wing Dudes - I was actually referred to as "the spinning back" on our H.S. team. And to boot the Iowa State Cyclones ran Single Wing until probably late 1960's.

Then we all upgraded to the Wing-T and Double Wing-T formations (thanks to Forrest Evashevski (Univ of Iowa Head Coach).

I won the Alberta provincial pee wee championship in 2009 as a coach using the Wing T. I had a talented 12 year old qb. I adapted the playbook from the qb being a spinner to doing RPO which he picked up & read beautifully. There was so much misdirection that we easily racked up 300 yards rushing every game. We were extremely lucky as we had 4 outstanding running backs starting. starters. We  struggled the first couple of games going 2-3 But then going undefeated the rest of the way for the regular season, playoffs & championship game.

Auburn actually brought the single wing back for a hot minute 9 or 10 years ago.

Excellent!!! Maybe the CFL can bring back these formations - heck  when the weather gets bad (say playoff times) a Wing-T or Single Wing formation might be something to think about.
