[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 830490, member: 1640"] Don’t think that players playing both ways was the reason for Dodd’s success. 😊 I was interested to learn that “platoon” football had its origins as early as 1933 and saw an early surge in the 1940s (hence the military term of platoon). The NCAA, bless their hearts, kept changing substitution rules to get rid of it, but Paul Deitzel at LSU was famous for his platoon system beginning in 1958. Apparently, by 1964 “everybody” was using a platoon system of some kind and the NCAA liberalized substitution rules for good. [/QUOTE]
