Default A-11

Read this story this morning in the Washington Post about a completely new offense (A-11) thought up by a couple of guys at a small high school in California. They've been overmatched in the past and to level the playing field they've invented a new system. They play a center, two TE's, six wideouts and two QB's. That's right, ONE lineman, 2 TE's, 6 WR's and 2 QB's. The kicker? By taking advantage of a quirk in the high school rules, they line up both QB's in the shotgun, have everybody wear receiver-eligible numbers and EVERY PLAYER ON THE FIELD IS AN ELIGIBLE RECEIVER. They went 7 and 3 and lost in the first round of the playoffs.

Less than half an hour after reading the WaPo story, I saw this on ESPN.com.

Some states have already banned it and it's not legal in the NFL, but apparently, there are situations (fourth and short where a kick would be considered a viable option) where it could be implemented in college.

Thoughts?
