not playing "real foootball." I remember one coach denigrating BYU and saying that we played basketball on a football field. Unlike today, people did not jump on the latest newest thing. College coaches were more hidebound and committed to tradition. They idolized coaches who had spent a lifetime promoting the "three yards and a cloud of dust" offensive philosophy. It took quite a number of years for BYU style passing offense to become widely utilized.


Woody Hayes said, "There are three things that can happen when you pass, and two of them ain't good,' he said.
