Interesting history of the Wishbone Offense made popular back in the early 70’s. I was a kid but still remember watching some ex-B12 teams run it to perfection. It was unstoppable and exciting to watch.
Some of you remember Jim Carlen at WVU introduced the Wishbone with an OC Bobby Bowden helping implement it. In the 1969 Peach Bowl WVU beat a very good South Carolina team running the Wishbone with QB Sherwood and Braxton/Grisham at RB. I became a WVU fan in 1969 at nine years old. Probably others on here remember those teams under Carlen and Bowden. Not exactly the same but Rich’s quick pace rushing attack has similar shock and awe to the bone. If you can run the ball and play defense you can win. Plus it’s fun as hell to watch. Is it fall camp yet?
