The Wolverine Centipede is a pre-snap temporary formation, and is meant to cause confusion. It's something different, that's for sure.

A bit misleading. If you play the video you can see the QB calls the play as he walks along the formation. They then break into a traditional formation. Essentially, it’s an atypical huddle.

Oy. Saw this last night and thought I needed a butterfly netting! Now that I know I wasn’t hallucinating, gotta say, I love stuff like this!

Who cares...

After a prof their tweed he feels empowered to flunk anyone on campus who is a Trump supporter, why should we not just turn out backs.... You have no idea of the hostility on that campus for those that exercise intellectual diversity. I can't talk about an example I know, I wish I could....

Conquering Hero's? what a farce, they want to make it all about "politics" good, I don't have to send my kids their, by their blue and maze shirts, or watch them on TV...

But you can’t snap the ball from that formation.

RULES EXPERT QUESTION: I thought I knew the rules pretty well but there was a play in the Virginia/North Carolina game I don’t understand. Virginia lined up in an apparent field goal try, then shifted out: 2 guys shifted to the right, the “kicker” stood still, the linemen shifted way left, and the “holder” shifted to the left behind the linemen. They snapper picked up the ball and flipped it to the “holder” on the left. Then the snapper went out for a pass and the “holder” threw it to him for a touchdown. I didn’t know the snapper could receive a pass under any circumstances.

Neat! prevents the defense from getting in a proper formation.

Remember the ‘Typewriter’ huddle?
Team lined up similar the typewriter keys.
xxxxxx
xxxxx

Team faces the line on scrimmage, the QB facing the team, barked the play.

Then my favorite. Alabama IIRC. Don’t recall a name for it.
Team huddled in a circle/oval, broke the huddle as if unwinding. End would start toward the far end of the line, rest of the team followed to their position, in order.
Visually really cool.

Did they pass the football over and under until it gets to the last guy in line? Reminds me of that little kids game.

Football can be quite boring, especially if you have coach who grinds out the ground game. I like the creativity, not a fan of this formation, but it's something different.
