One thing that I have always failed to wrap my head around is why would a coach line up his team in a shotgun formation on 1st and Goal from the 1. This gives the defensive line time to get pressure and cause disruption while closing down the running lanes. The game went all Paintsville's way when Pike Co Central failed to get it across the goal line. Good job by Paintsville and a horrible coaching job on Pike Co Central's part.

If a quarterback takes a shotgun snap and gives the ball off around 4 yards deep what's the difference in the qb being under center and having to take the time to turn and then hand it off at 3 and a half?
Also, if you are in the gun all the time why risk a bad snap under center at the most important part of the field?
