The goal of the Double Wing is not to get out of the backfield. It is to run Power/Super Power (depending on your terms) over and over. That is an off tackle play with 2 OL leading through the hole with a FB kick out and the playside wing getting backer. The QB leads through also going for the corner or first thing to show inside out of the hole.
The "core" of the double wing is wedge, power, counter, trap and sweep. It is a very systematic approach to the game. They do not want to run sweep but do run it when the DE start craching or wrong arming. Estill along with a number of other double wing teams have add either jet or rocket sweep to help get outside. Both of those plays are designed to get outside with average speed. Estill has a nasty little trap off of their rocket sweep.
The "wildcat" as people are saying all over the place it not an offense per say. It is more a personal package. Some teams have gone to a more true single wing approach with it but most are running your standard jet, inside zone, outside zone, counter game out of it. The only true difference is they have moved a RB into the a traditional shotgun QB position. There are a TON of teams that run the "wildcat" as far as play selection and design. The only difference is who si taking the snap. Male with Bush at QB ran all the same stuff.
Spread is a term that has lost a ton of meaning through the years. It is a formation style more than an offense. Georgia Tech runs the spread option according to their coach. Some call it a flexbone and I think everyone can agree they do not have an issue with the clock or running the ball. Highlands has no issue running the ball from their sets. WVU and Michigan do not have an issue running the football or with the clock our of their spread offense. Texas Tech and SMU on the other hand want to throw the ball 50+ a game so they have some different issues.
The toughest offenses in HS are those that are executed the best. They are the ones the coaches know how to adjust the best. Teams often can get an edge running an offense that is very hard to simulate in practice. The option where there is a true read involved is tough to simulate. Some other factors are the kids have to believe in what they are doing and the coaches have to be great Teachers of the scheme.
