Wishbone formation information


A variant of the wishbone formation with two wide receivers (WR). The basic wishbone has one tight end and one wide receiver.

The wishbone formation, also known simply as the bone, is an offensive formation in American football. The style of attack to which it gives rise is known as the wishbone offense. Like the spread offense in the 2000s to the present, the wishbone was considered to be the most productive and innovative offensive scheme in college football during the 1970s and 1980s.[1]
