They won a lot of games with less than stellar talent because opponents could not successfully prepare for it in one week. I just can't remember which team it was. Seems to me the name might have started with an "O." Was it Otterbein or Oberlin, maybe? I'm pretty sure it wasn't Ohio Wesleyan. For some reason I could not find the answer with an internet search, but I know Jeff won't fail me. The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right." Note: My avatar is the national colors of the 78th Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry, which are now preserved in a climate controlled vault at the Ohio History Connection.

Here is his obituary which is a nice tribute to his career. I have a signed copy of his book "Single Wing and a Prayer". Was a very good coach and better person. https://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/11/sports/keith-piper-76-...

When they ran the single wing, were they still in the OAC?

When they ran the single wing, were they still in the OAC? If I read it correctly, he ran the single wing, then dropped it, and then brought it back, so it's possible he ran it in both leagues.
