in response to shoelessvol#236864:

The single wing was the reason for the most part of the failures of Coach Wyatt. Because of this offense the recruiting of top talent, (Spurrier and Sloan), was almost impossible. History would have been much different had the offense gone to the T formation. Ironically, several years later, the wishbone became the "new" offense of many programs, (Alabama included). Funny thing is that the wishbone is simply a variation of the single wing!

Would believe that today's spread (the Auburn variety) would be closer to the single-wing than the option-bases wishbone.
