Bama's isn't a true WCO, but the theory behind taking what the defense gives is very WCO-like. But, being more realistic, taking what the defense gives is a very traditional offensive philosophy, not limited to just the WCO.
Bama is, through and through, a one-back offense. They use power running principles within a One Back Spread scheme.
On another note, Gus, it must have been another thread where you and I were discussing play # overkill in our Custom Books. I didn't intentionally follow Irish's post earlier in this thread, but the end result is along the lines of what he advocated. Last night I played an OD game against Escobar, and I called 95% of the game from a single formation. If you were able to find a formation like that, that you were willing to call the entire game in, that could go a long way toward reducing your playbook #s.
My current plan is basically to run 3 different playbooks, each 60-70 plays, that represent three different offensive philosophies that I love. Then combine those three into a single master book that would allow me to switch on demand between the concepts. I don't know if it will work, but that's the plan.
