...beginning of the year, Yale operated out of the basic split-T with an end split ten yards to one side and a halfback flanked to the other side. Soon, however, Cozza and his staff realized that opposing teams were concentrating their defenses on the side of Yale's tight end, where most of the running plays were directed. This concentration combined with the loss of powerful fullback Chuck Mercein virtually neutralized the Yale ground game during the first part of the season...
...Staubach's performance so far this season is more than a tribute to his own splendid talents: it shows how completely today's top college quarterbacks dominate the teams they play for. In the old tight-T and split-T formations, the quarterback was responsible for maintaining the oompah-oompah rhythm of a ground attack-and the coach often ran the team from the bench. But today's quarterback is a thief with ten accomplices. He bosses the huddle, decides the play, totes the ball. What he does is up to him. The best decision makers...

"Goddamn deceptive," commented Oliver after noticing the OCD in competition...
...fact that it might have been worse. Memphis State's No. 1 quarterback, James Earl Wright, 22, key man in the Tigers' wide-open attack and the most dangerous back in the South, had been given an afternoon off. A sturdy six-footer, Wright is the ideal split-T quarterback. He runs the bread-and-butter option play with swift precision, can throw a pass accurately while on the dead run to either his left or his right. Says Coach Frank Camp, whose tough University of Louisville team was whipped, 28-13, by Memphis State: "Wright killed...
