Who remembers the 1-10 defense we ran a few years back with Fran? I think it was against Tceh. I think that is the "Peso"defense so secretively spoken about.

I remember watching that game on TV and the Tech lineman coming up from their stance then just standing there lost, arms at the ready, desperately looking around for someone to block. Still cracks me up.

So, Heisman winner Ware wanted to play QB at Texas but they said he was not up to their standard. Add another to the list.

To be fair, Sherrill pulled a Mack and tried to get him to play DB.

RC and Bob Davie ran the 1-10 vs houston run and shoot back in the day. Sports illustrated did an article on it.

Found it in the vault:

quote:
Slocum substituted linebackers for defensive ends and added an extra defensive back at outside linebacker. A & M lined up seven people along the line of scrimmage on almost every play. Sometimes it dropped eight people into zone coverage. More often—75% of the time, defensive coordinator Bob Davie estimated—the Aggies blitzed all seven players at the line of scrimmage.

Good read:

Does anyone have a video or GIF to A Wallace holding up Ware's helmet? I did a youtube search, but only found a poor quality vid.

Lets see if I can explain this succinctly.

Nickel = 5 db
Dime = 6 db
Penny = 7 db

Why does the price double when you add 1 DB but it is reduced by 80% when you add 2 DB's?

This is why I miss the days of Bob Davie as our DC.

You know what? **** it. Let's just play all DB's. Try and pass on us now you jerks!

I laughed. Safety blitz would be a bit disastrous though.....

After Bob Davie gets fired at New Mexico I'm sure he'd be up for a DC job.
