Pistol I Midline

Description

This session explores running the midline out of the pistol formation and how it can be used to maximize personnel and keep defenses off balance. Drawing on years of experience with the Wing‑T and triple option, Coach Heath Saint highlights how a shift to the pistol created new opportunities, especially after injuries forced adjustments at fullback. Coach shares film examples and practical teaching points on midline and outside veer concepts, emphasizing the philosophy that “if you can’t block them, read them.” This talk demonstrates how adapting schemes to fit players’ strengths can give smaller programs a competitive edge.
