It's no secret that Ole Miss likes to run a version of the Wildcat offense, or, as it was called during Houston Nutt's time with Arkansas, the Wild Hog formation. (Auburn even has a version called the War Eagle formation.)

Whatever its name, it's basically a single-wing offense in which the center snaps the ball directly to a versatile running back or receiver instead of the quarterback. The Rebels use wide receiver Dexter McCluster.

I'll probably write something about this later in the week, but here's a video from last year of former Arkansas offensive coordinator David Lee, who does a pretty good job of outlining the options teams have coming out of the formation. Lee is now with the Miami Dolphins, who (surprise!) use a version of the single-wing featuring former Auburn star Ronnie Brown.

Anyway, here's the video. I'll bet Auburn is glad it won't have to defend Darren McFadden this year.



Here's an article on ESPN.com about defending the Wildcat offense. Interesting that this scout says one of the best ways to stop it is to audible into an automatic blitz instead of reacting to where the play is going.
