three back formation?

[AlexlikesMichigan]

I just was playing a game against USC in my dynasty and I noticed on one play they had three running backs in a row. First the quarterback then fullback then two halfbacks all in a row vertically. I looked into their playbook and I couldn't find it. Anybody know what its called, and which teams use it?

#1 Where you playing the CPU or someone online? I ask because if it was the CPU then you know it was the USC playbook since they only use team playbooks
#2 It's called the Maryland I
#3 EA has hidden that formation in the goal line formations in some of the playbooks

in that formation the last "halfback" is actually referred to as a tailback

REALLY old schol! As in late 1960s KC Chiefs who won the Super Bowl using it.

It's in UNC's. Ryan Houston + Maryland I = Have fun stopping me on the goal line.

Just wish it was in VT's playbook.
