[QUOTE="DeepSnap, post: 992744, member: 4589"] The Single Wing most closely resembled today's regular spread formation. Yes, there was a Wingback, usually lined up like one of CPJ's A-Backs. The player who was called the Quarterback would today look like the opposite A-Back or a close/tight Slotback. The Fullback lined up next to the Tailback. What did the Tailback do? Similar to today's Wildcat Formation, the Tailback was the principle ball handler & passer, but was the main runner in the formation. And yes, I'm old enough to remember Prothro running the Single Wing with Billy Kilmer at UCLA & Bowden Wyatt running it at Tennessee with Mallon Fairlcloth et al. [/QUOTE]
