that is pretty funny. That reminds me of a college football game that had me laughing all game long. I don't remember what year it was. It was OU versus one of the Florida teams. The game was much hyped as the Florida team had a great offense. I think it might have been a number one versus number two type of game. It was in the later 1980s

Anyway, OU, who back then ran the wishbone predominantly, came out with 5-6 wide receivers each game. There were 2-3 on each side and they were standing as near the sideline as they could each and every play. And, on each and every play, OU ran the ball right up the middle against the empty box on defense. The Florida team couldn't put guys in the box to stop the wishbone which is what they practiced. OU ran for 5-8 yards per play all game long and the other team was powerless to stop it. Naturally, they couldn't fail to cover the wide receivers, because even a wishbone quarterback can pass to a man who is not being covered. It was a funny, funny game and OU won big time.
