A staple of Georgia football’s offense last year was a singleback variant with an extra running back lined up as a wingback. Typically the wingback was D’Andre Swift because of his speed and his receiving skills. The formation was very successful. It kept defenses guessing.
Who was going to receive the handoff? The tailback, usually Nick Chubb or Sony Michel? Or the wingback, Swift or Brian Herrien? All four are great threats in the running game. Or would the wingback be used as a receiver? Swift is an excellent receiver, so he’s a legitimate big play threat in the passing game.
