A NEA Service diagram by Wesley Fesler outlines an off tackle power play in an unbalanced line and T formation designed for Ohio State's hard driving back Jerry Krall. The play uses end and tackle double teams with lead blocks by the full back and center, then a quarterback pass after handing to the tailback. It notes uncertainty about two platoon use while maintaining a single wing base with back lateral series. Nebraska's Fullback Gerald Ferguson is referenced in a separate fast break context.
