Another Goof

I just watched this last night and noticed another goof that wasn't mentioned. When Coach Klein was demonstrating his great play on the chalkboard, he had two running backs next to the quarterback, and another one on the other side. Then another would line up in the slot in the back. This is four RB's and QB which would only leave six men on the line of scrimmage so it would be a penalty! The play would never be allowed.

Considering the whole point of that moment was to show that he couldn't come up with a good play to save his life, I hardly think it matters if he had a legal formation.
