[QUOTE="DeepSnap, post: 781122, member: 4589"] In '72, everyone found out how good Jimmy Robinson was at MSU. The week before it was Randy "3Time" Rhino vs USCe . One very notable one was "The Cherry Picker" formation from the 1968 Ugag game...... Ugag had AA & future NFL HoF Miami Dolphins Bill Stanfill & Jake Scott & otherwise a ton o'talent on their best team of the early Howdy Dooley years. For us, QB Larry Good came back & played the game essentially on one leg, having blown out a knee mid-season - we were down to our 6th or 7th string QB in some games, even had one called out of the stands halftime of the Navy game it got so bad. The Cherry Picker was the brain child of OC Bill Crutchfield & had the QB, C & both Gs in the middle of the field with the Ts, Es and other backs split way out wide outside the numbers. There was lots of motion, shifting outer groups pre-snap, 12th & 13th guys on the field stepping off at the last moment before the snap. Good guys kept it close & lost in The Cesspool 8-47. Made the 1969 6-0 game all the sweeter. But no more Cherry Picker after 1968. [/QUOTE]
