Don't look for the numbers, look to see if they are eligible by position.

What I saw most of the time the formation was legal and if illegal it was only by a foot or so. The "four receiver set" was interesting when all four went downfield. It requires the defense to be knowledgeable enough to think only one of the four is eligible and if the others go downfield, which they did, it would be a penalty if the ball is thrown past the LOS.

There was a lot of passes thrown behind the LOS which would require officials to be alert to make sure the pass does not cross.

The A-11 requires an extremely mobile QB as he seems to be running for his life on every "pass" play since his blockers are outmanned.

Piedmont has been successful with this offense but it probably has limited use. Some smart defensive coordinator will figure it out.
