This formation can keep the defense off balance because they never know if we are running or passing. Our weakness on offense is the predictability of plays pre-snap. Bringing Chase in the backfield should only be done if we are then going to pass it out wide. Doing this brings all the attention to the backfield and is incredibly predictable when we try to run it with Chase. The heavy formations are predictable runs as well.
Our best runs came out of shotgun and I'd really like someone to back me up on the stats because that was by far our most productive formation.
Running shotgun based formations is more efficient all around and has been for years now. You asked for the stats, so here they are...
Shotgun runs - 16 attempts, 5.875 yards per carry (94 yards)
Under center runs - Five attempts, 1.4 yards per carry (7 yards)
