Something curious I have noticed in recent weeks has been the rebirth of actual Single Wing formations. No, not talking about the shotgun. And not even Wildcat formations that has become the rage all the way up to the NFL in the States this year. We are talking about honest-to- goodness, old-fashioned tight formations in a single wing or Notre Dame box, just like your (great) grand-daddy used to know and love.
On Halloween the T.I.T. Buffaloes waited till the second halfe to break out the ghosts of the old Spinner Series, and even broke one for a long touchdown in their 23-6 victory over the Obirin Three Nails Crown to seal the lid on their, er, coffin.
The Meiji Griffns used a similar 2TE, Single Wing formation yesterday in the second half as a power formation with some success, when they attempted to drive down and tie the score with Hosei, in the exciting game they finally lost 35-28.
