You can run the read option out of the shotgun formation like Vince Young did at Texas but just because we had shotgun plays last year didn't mean we were having Cassel hall balls down the sideline.

The pistol is just an attempt to get the benefits of the shotgun while maintaining your traditional downhill running game.

I'm sure there will be something in the package for Smith to run but I imagine it will be used incredibly sparingly. A trick play.
