This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I remember Holtz running a lot of full house by jt

I think that he did have the wishbone in there and ran that against teams in 86 and 87, but I'm not positive.

He could always find the bubble--his whole running game philosophy boiled down to (basically) the defense having to have an odd number of guys to one side (5) and that if he could find a way to run to that bubble he could consistently get yards. The full house/double tight is the best way to force them to tip their hand and it gives you possibly two lead blockers out of the backfield (assuming no fake).
