    2 things I noticed in that video:

    1. What is "The Pistol", plays for the University of Nevada?

    2. Did anyone notice big Herm hustling all the way downfield after Keiland? The only other person I saw down there was Lafell. Nice hustle Herm!!!

    Swerved It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds.

    Dunno about question #1 but yes, I did indeed see Big Herm down there and wondered what the hell he was doing there.. lol. Big man can run too apparently.. they should let him rush some... :lol:

    The Pistol is a formation that puts the QB about half as far as the shotgun would. Gets him the ball faster, makes the defense think quicker.

    Nevada is credited for bringing it to college football.

    Shotgun, Pistol.... get it?

    Gotcha.. after listening to them a few times I kinda gathered that's what they were implying. At first it almost seemed as if they were calling Williams that.. or someone.. I dunno I just got home from work a lil while ago so my brain's on break. :lol:

    "It seems that head coach Chris Ault is once again being viewed as a true visionary as the amateur ranks embrace his ‘Pistol Offense’. Unfortunately Ault borrowed a page out of an Oscar Wilde text and embraced the value of “Talent borrows and genius steals.”
    “(Ault) thinks he invented a new offense but it’s just a modified single-wing.” Hawaii head coach June Jones in 2005

    Ault’s Pistol Offense has the QB lining up 5 yards behind the center (instead of the typical 7 yards) with a running back two or three yards behind the QB. The Pistol has numerous permutations with three wide receivers for a spread offense but it was implemented to bolster Nevada’s running attack."

    that was a snippet from:
