    this part is interesting

    "Offensive coordinator Woody McCorvey pulled out all the stops.
    He included a flea flicker, he ran the ball with Dixon inside and out and he allowed Henig to line up with several spread formations to utilize the deep group of receivers the coaching staff had been touting.
    But after that first half ended the flea flicker had been intercepted, Dixon’s groove had been lost as he only rushed the ball eight times and the leader of the wide receivers, Tony Burks, hadn’t hauled in a pass."

    I thought this was interesting:

    I saw that as a designed "try to draw them offsides" move that didn't work (and hardly ever does).

    heck, till about 5 yrs ago, the forward pass was "pulling out all the stops" in starkville.
