When to Use Pistol Formation

Use it When You Need to Confuse Defenders

The Quarterback, along with the Running Back, is lined up a few yards behind the Center. This gives the option for the QB to either run the ball or hand it to the RB, which leaves the defense confused on who will actually bring the ball forward.
