Over the weekend, Miami hosted Xavier, Ohio State and Columbus State in a 7 on 7 tourney at Yager stadium. Led by Xavier freshman QB Brendan Gilboy, the Muskies won all five matches.


From the team web site, the following:

Xavier finished with a 5-0 record winning games against The Ohio State University (Twice), Columbus State Community College (Twice), and Miami (OH) University. It was a great way to start off the 2013 season.

Not much defense being played in these games huh?

[GetUp5]

They really keep stats for club football 7 on 7 tournaments?

I bet you Urban Meyer is pissed at his team's performance.

[DC Muskie]

Is this flag football, or full pads?

[nuts4xu]

Do you guys run the wishbone offense with 7 people, or is more of a wing T?

DC:

The 7 on 7 tourney is played without pads. The emphasis is on passing offense and pass defense. Not scrimmages but they do give the teams a chance to design and defend plays in preparation for fall games that are played with full pads.

Oh okay very cool. Do they start at the 25 yard line or something?

[nickgyp]

Not sure where they start; although former Coach McCormick had some video of last year's 7 on 7 on the internet. I thought it was on You Tube but as of yet, I have not located it. FWIW: it seemed kind of confusing to watch with no audio and no identification of the rules. If I can find the video, I will see if I can link it here. The 2012 season was curtailed due to injuries. I am happy to see that team is together and shows some promise.

Very cool, congrats to the Club!

[DC Muskie]

That's looks like a lot of fun. I like the open field it provides, much like when I play 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 full court in basketball.

Congrats!
