Introduction
Bash and Midline are two plays in the Oregon Spread offense that are giving a lot of Defensive Coordinators headaches. Both plays have recently burst onto the scene, but they both have actually been around for some time. I saw Texas A & M run a form of Bash in their 2006 bowl game (Editors note: I found out in 2019 that it actually was Bash) and North Alabama ran the Midline from Gun as far back as 2003. I will talk about Bash and Midline, but I will talk about defending Midline only.
