Do you think it could potentially translate to the college level or are college DB's going to destroy this?

i cover high school football in virginia and you see some teams line up like that on 4th downs...it usually results in a punt

As far as formation goes, it is basically the alignment that was made famous by Emory and Henry. Spurrier used it as a trick play a few times. The risk reward factor just simply isn't there as a base offense. But it can trick defenses every once and a while. But like most stunt alignments, the main reason it works is that defenses haven't practiced and schemed against it all week. If you use it frequently, or even as your base alignment, then the opponents will have no trouble shutting it down. The two main problems that I see are that you don't have much of a deep threat to keep teams honest and you are vulnerable to blitzes. It is pretty easy for the defense to outman you when you only have 3 blockers in the middle.
