Yesterday, we talked about how Auburn's Gus Malzahn uses the Wildcat to gain an advantage against defenses using numbers by gaining another blocker by allowing the RB to run the football with a direct snap.
A big misconception, as I pointed out, was that Malzahn's offense was a high-powered, high-throwing offense. However, it is, in fact, the opposite. Malzahn uses motions and misdirection to set-up the power running game (which again gains the advantage through numbers and leverage) and will hit you deep when you get lazy covering downfield.
