Love the choreography. I've often thought that at least in the short term, resurrecting some of these discarded offensive sets could be effective against a defense that had never seen them. The Power I, the Split T, the Wishbone. Student Body Right. Anything this side of The Flying Wedge. Which I would love to see until the lawsuits began to fly. |

Kaybli, I never understood why the Fumblerooski was outlawed. Are you old enough to remember that one? I mainly associate it with Tom Osborne at Nebraska.
I'll bet our late friend Utahyank liked it.

Oh man, I love gimmick plays. The old Statue of Liberty or Flea Flicker still gets them out of their seats. I remember back in the 70s (I think) Texas A&M ran a play where the QB threw what looked like a one-bounce incomplete pass to the receiver, who kicked the ground in disgust and acted like the play was dead. Except the play was not a forward pass it was tecnically a lateral. The defense bought that it was incomplete and quit playing while the receiver sprang back to action and threw to a wide open teammate for a touchdown. Of course it helps to have a not very alert defense out there to make it work. |

I would line up players in all different areas and put them in weird motions before the play. My brother used to get so mad
Who doesn't love a good Flea Flicker?

Let’s not forget Bum Phillips and the Bumerooski! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fumblerooski#Bumerooski“A variation of the play is known as the Bumerooski. The Bumerooski is named after former NFL head coach Bum Phillips. In this variation a handoff is made to a player between his legs. This play is still legal in the NFL and NCAA as the ball never touches the ground.” |

If he had really wanted to duplicate that play, he should have done it on black and white... (: |
