This didn’t work one damn bit.  

*The coach was a USMC/Korea vet, will never forget the first time he addressed the 120 who were trying out for the team.  “We’re gonna keep 60 men.  It doesn't matter what position 
they play.  If we don’t have a quarterback we’re gonna run the ball every play.”

We went 10-1 and won ‘77 Natty.  

We did have a QB.  His backup was our punter.

You ever seen The Program?

I did.  Nick Nolte played the coach or was that the basketball movie with Shaq?
Remember the shot of the LB on whatever just wacked out of his head.

An add on to my story, we had 10 recently discharged Marines; fearless.  Just crazy.  We'd play a few D1 JVs on Thursdays so they could dress everyone for home games on Saturdays.
