spread formation
Wide offensive alignment
A spread formation in football positions offensive players wide across the field rather than clustered near the line of scrimmage.
The arrangement creates space by spreading defenders thin, opening passing lanes and running gaps.
Spread offenses revolutionized football strategy at both college and professional levels: They ran a no-huddle spread formation that exhausted the defense.
