Wild Tiger?

When running AU running back Mario Fannin lined up in the shotgun and started taking snaps—and quite successful I might say—I couldn’t help but wonder what the formation was called. At Arkansas, it was the Wild Hog. At Ole Miss, the Wild Rebel. So was this the Wild Tiger, Wild War Eagle, Wild Plainsman or Wild and Crazy Guys drawing up plays in the booth?

Rod Bramlett, voice of the Tigers, informed me at halftime it is called the War Eagle Formation.

Now I know.
