Folks don't remember how good a coach Johnny Vaught was at Ole Miss: Bryant (at UK and UA) had a 7-6-1 record against Vaught's UM squads. Cholly Mac was 8-9-1 versus the Rebs while at LSU, dropping his last four chances in a row (76-79) against mediocre Vaught-less Rebel squads.

From what I remember the wishbone was the "in" offense at that time. The veer was sort of a hybrid between the wishbone and pro style.

It did not seem to work very well. However, it seems to have been the pre cursor to the option type offensives that are very successful in todays college game.
