[QUOTE="Captn_65, post: 865965, member: 4740"] Weird indeed. It was explained to me recently by a friend who was an SEC official at that time. You could substitute only one person at a time. When the ball turned over , the quarterback came out first. The "defensive specialist" replaced him. When the offense got the ball back, the quarterback came back in and the "defensive specialist " came out. Then the one substitute at a time rule still applied. I was a cornerback and got caught once against Auburn in Birmingham and had to play fullback and got caught again against Alabama in Grant Field and had to play defensive end. Generally, substitution was rare and you played seven and a half minutes a quarter without coming out. You played both offense and defense. It was truly a real player's game back then. Sanity returned in 1965 and the free substitution rule returned. Thanks for the word on Bobby Caldwell. Was also a fraternity brother of mine. Truly a great human being. RIP Bobby.. [/QUOTE]
