John Bond

The bone is as dead as the pure air raid…. but damn it was fun to watch it when it was legit, unlike the pure air raid.
All I can hear while watching this is my father beside me in the stands angrily saying (more loudly than he should) “He’s carrying the ball like a damn loaf of bread!”
As much as I loved the wishbone, you could only count on about 10 plays until the next fumble.
How long would Bond have made it if cell phones and social media had been around back then?
Yep, he carried that ball like that all the way down the field, I would have been screamed at but to be fair, I couldn't have not pulled it off as I would have fumbled it every play. He used it as a decoy and would pitch at any point and really rarely fumbled considering the way he carried it.
How many of us 80's college students could have survived?
When run correctly, like JB did, that offense was fun to watch. Bond pitching the ball at the last second, and even 20 yards down the field, as he was getting tackled was a thing of beauty.
I would have loved to see Omarr or Fitz in that offense back in the day. Fitz would have had a million yards.

There is not enough Bond, McDole, Michael Haddix, George Wonsley, Donald Ray King, Al Ricky Edwards, Glenn Young, Jerry Price footage on the interwebs.
And certainly not enough on the forward wall of Harris, Bell, Hull, Miketinas, and Grace.
That offense was a complement to that amazing Bulldog Blitz D. The most exciting offense we ever put on Scott Field.

It wasn't fun when you were down 10 in the 4th quarter.
Well he set one college football record that'll never be broken. Only QB ever to beat LSU 4 years in a row . God I had some fun with that with my LSU buds.
Reminds me of a joke about Wayne Madkin should have been an evangelist because he could make so many stand up and holler "Jesus Christ Madkin" after a play .
First Miss St game I ever went to was in Baton Rouge during the John Bond era. I was maybe 12 or 13, and State beat up on LSU's Dalton-James Gang.
Hot take: much faster and a better leader on the field than Archie
The bone is like any other option offense. Once your down 10 or more you are screwed.
