The Wishbone in all it's forms had a great run...
THEN... Teams figured out how to Defense it.
Same thing is happening to the Spread Offense.
It worked against us for a couple of years till we adjusted our Defense.
The various forms of the Hurry Up Offense worked on us till we figured out how to Defense it, and use it to our advantage, sometimes.
I always loved the Wishbone. If memory doesn't fail me, Coach Bryant went to Texas and learned the basics of the Bone from Darryl Royal.
The Wishbone was a closely guarded secret until our first game. When we played USCw we caught em with their pants down. Suddenly Coach Bryant breathed new life into our football program with the Wishbone.
