Props to Bill for the shotgun spread

Usually, the teams that do it are trying to take advantage of a mobile quarterback (one of the original innovators of this was Kansas State's Bill Snyder, who installed the shotgun to better utilize the elusive Michael Bishop), which was the case with Young.

Of course, let's not forget the enormous impact that Bill's shotgun spread innovation had on the level of cheese in the NCAA Football series.  Gamers everywhere love or hate the "tuck and run" offense that's nearly unstoppable when run by the right player with the right personnel.

Also, he doesn't mention Texas Tech in his list of schools that run the shotgun spread.  Now, I know that there's no quarterback run game in the Texas Tech offense, but doesn't the QB usually take the snap out of the shotgun, regardless?

I'll never forget when Snyder rolled it out full force for the first time in 1997 after the debacle in Lincoln ... Moo didn't know what hit them.

They came into KSU Stadium all cocky and KSU kicked their ASS!!

Bishop ran for like 6,000 yards that game.

As an 11 year old that must have been a big thrill for you Fatty.

Were there any 4 star guys lining up in the backfield with Bishop that day??

[fatty fat fat]

I was there, Jackass.

[pissclams]

It's a simple question Doctor...

[fatty fat fat]

I don't know. And neither do you.

Give me a link that shows they were lightly recruited.

A link doesn't exist because no one at that time had figured out a way to make $$ off of college football during the offseason.
