LSU didn't have the offensive linemen to run the veer either. If I remember Billy Broussard was the quarterback after it was shown that Trimble couldn't throw a lick. It was a painful offense to watch.

One final thought, did a little research and found LSU fumbled 49 times in 1974, just an unreal stat and have to think Veer was a major part of this, still think Bear put wishbone in at Bama in one season (72?) and they did not misss a beat. I recall watching Trimble play and he was IMHO a 4-5 star type athlete, he just was not suited to be a QB in the veer. Have to credit Mac with trying to change, but it does not always work..think Lou Tepper in 90's on defense and the old run and shout that cost many a SWC coach jobs in the 1980's
