It's actually a kind of triple option, except you use have wingbacks (halfbacks who sit on the wings of the line, just
steps off the outside hips of the TE or Tackle, and usually 1 WR and or a FB.

You see them flexed out, sometimes just the TE flexes with a WR for a double WR set.

There was a team in California used it to win multiple state championships. Navy's offense is a variant of the double wing, AF used to run a version of it in their offense.

I think most teams don't run it in college because there is so much more talent and speed. The double wing is a pretty compact offensive footprint sometimes, which means on defense, you can kind of 'corral' it if you can win the line of scrimmage.

But, the advantage if you use the formation and alignments with a little spread to your line, is that you trick DL into crashing the gaps, and they get caught in when the motion actually goes the other direction, or it's a pass.

For a guy like Hall, it opens up the read option because the OLB has or safety have to play the wingback.

It's a lot of fun, and I'm only proposing that they have a couple sets that they could use 4-5 times a game.
