I stand corrected, it was after the 1977 season. If Chandler could have played in the current era of wide open passing.. he might have been a Heisman winner. Except for the 76 season (and even then passing was mediocre), the qbs were really rbs and the wishbone would give defenses fits.

Back then Bama, AU both used the wishbone and Bama won a NC with it....but they had a stout defense. Eventually teams learned to stack the defense up front with 9 men and the wishbone was then a bygone.

I think OU ran the wishbone into the 1990's. Pretty funny considering how prolific Bama and OU passing attacks are now. OU could run that thing to perfection.
