The football parlance is 12 personnel.
That’s one running back, two tight ends. By process of elimination, two wide receivers. Eleven personnel, it follows, is one back, one tight end, three receivers.
South Carolina’s offense in 2016 was almost entirely 12 personnel, in many ways because of the bodies available.
Deebo Samuel was dinged up on the first drive of the second game. Bryan Edwards missed some time and was a true freshman. Every other first-year receiver had to burn his redshirt as the Gamecocks threw bodies in.
And USC will probably get relief from that in 2017, with a roster suited to playing a third receiver often.
