Article: Was Florida Better In 11 Or 12 Personnel This Season?

And... with a QB that has a rocket arm and wheels when healthy added a different dimension to the comparative equation too. I think we'd be better off comparing the 10 personnel to the 11 and the 22 to the 12... two of which we don't even run.

It definitely takes context and watching to see when and why it works.

I wouldn’t have such a beef with his use of 12 IF we utilized the TE or had a more effective TE. But we had better WRs so get them on the field, get them the ball.
We have higher rush averages in 11 because the field is spread out a bit more which works in zone run scheme.
And a lot of it is about what plays are being called when. The #1 issue I’ve had with CBN is knowing WHEN to run/pass and when to get the ball to playmakers. There always seems to be a lack of flow

This is interesting since the article left out the yards per pass play in the 11 personnel, yet did see that we have more explosive pass plays out of the 11 personnel.

It's odd that we get more yards per rush in the 11 personnel, since we have one blocking tight end versus two in the 12 personnel. That was 5.67 yards per play to 4.78 rushing yards per play... 11 personnel to 12 personnel respectively. That is confusing. But we seem to get more yard rushing per play in the 11 set versus the 12... counterintuitive? However, we have more explosive plays in the 11 personnel than we do in the 12 which makes sense since we have more receivers in the 11 personnel.

The success rates are confusing too. We have a higher percentage of success in if you only consider yards per play in the 12 than we do in the 11. However, we get more explosive plays from the 11 personnel. It's a bit confusing.

I have no problem with these two offensive formations schemes. I would like to see more types of offensive set schemes... like the 22 or the 10, or even a 00 personnel set piece. We have lined up with the running back out wide as a receiver, but that's not really a true 10 because we didn't have 4 true receivers in the line-up.

All this is fine if we can just figure out the plays that do NOT work, fix them or ditch them. And we need to find the plays that work and add to our playbook.

The plays are not really the only thing we can improve upon. We need to stay fresh and unpredictable, we need to tweak the current plays and add new plays every off season. And please find a way to call plays that work coming out of half-time. It seems that opposing teams make adjustments, and we don't do enough to make them guess what we're doing, especially on offense.

Like I said before, that Lagway is so good that he can hide some of our offensive deficiencies, but that will not be enough against the best teams in the SEC and nation.

We seem to thrive in the 11 personnel sets. Let's see what a 10 or 00 do for us.

Halftime adjustments are essential to our success...alone with unpredictability.

Then subsets for the field like the plays that we run between the 20 and the other 20 h=yard line versus red-zone offensive plays. There are so many variables and situational uses for different offensive personnel that these statistics are almost meaningless.

We need as many people on the field as we can get.

They tried too many and too few. The refs had issues.
