Applewhite Column

Kevin Sherrington wrote a nice column on Major Applewhite in today's DMN ... Here's the story link:

Excerpt:

Anyway, you need specific talent for what Applewhite calls "today's offense." But Hatfield's recruits have responded. And the new offensive coordinator has returned the favor.

Against UCLA, the Owls threw in a little more option just to mix things up.

Applewhite could break out the Wing-T against Texas, and it's not going to do much good. One of the worst sins of any coach is to play a ranked team after it loses a big game.

And who's up after Texas? Florida State. Apparently the NFC East was already booked for September.

If anyone can convince undersized underdogs they've got a shot, it's probably a coach who looks like Howdy Doody and played like Dirty Harry.
