11v11 Tackleonly
A tackle-only heavy set with the quarterback under center, two lead backs aligned abreast at about 4 yards, and the tailback directly behind them at about 7 yards. The formation keeps the vertical I stem while adding a second lead blocker. A split end aligns weak and a tight end aligns strong. The offense can insert both lead backs on Blast/Power, fan them on Sweep, or fake the same downhill action for play-action. Distinguish it from Pro I (only one fullback in front of the tailback) and Maryland I (all three backs stacked in a vertical line).
Power I isn't run in 5v5 Flag.
