Back in high school we played South Natchez, who used the Notre Dame box, once a year. Every time we'd play them, my dad would get all excited about it. He'd get rocks from the gas grill and start diagramming plays. He'd show all the intricate things you could do out of it. Little did I know that dad was being way ahead of his time.
Today's spread formation is nothing more than the old Single Wing, except you usually don't have tight ends and you employ parts of the wishbone-veer option. You want to see old-fashioned Single Wing watch Florida with Tim Tebow. That's classic old-school Single Wing, where Tebow has the option of running off-tackle, outside, giving it to the "halfback" (Percy Harvin or his successor), or passing it. The only thing Tebow doesn't do that Choo Choo Justice or Sammy Baugh would is quick-kick out of it on 3rd down or drop kick for a field goal.

Although Coach Sherrill made peace with Paterno later, I personally will never forgive him for his harsh comments about Jackie. At one time he said he did not want to retire and leave the game of football to the Switzers and Sherrills of the world.msudawg12 said:
