Multiple offense

The multiple offensive scheme is an offense used by several teams in United States college football. It consists of formations and plays from other offensive schemes including the spread offense, pro-style offense, option offense, etc. The offense is often a balance between the run and the pass, keeping the defense guessing, and allowing the offense to open the playbook and create more chances for impactful plays. It creates advantages for the offense such as spreading the field with 4 to 5 wide receivers, gaining yards and first downs easily with 2-tight-end sets, and allows the team's offense to not be one-dimensional and harder for the defensive team to scout.
