Yeah, the Michigan guy is right. 3-3-5 has 3 safeties. WVU uses it and has a free safety, spur safety, and bandit safety. The spur safety is more of a safety/LB tweener. I'm not sure how other teams do it, but 3 CB, 2 S is definitely just the nickel formation (although you could have a safety play as the nickel corner).
