Perfection of the T formation cited as key to Tech’s success
Coach Dodd credits extensive study of the T formation and timing with Broyles handling the ball for Tech’s success. Despite a shortage of substitute linemen, the regulars have played 40 to 60 minutes in eight games, aided by deception and a lethal passing attack. Defensive play, including George Mathews’ 96 yard return, and Paul Duke’s linebacker leadership have been pivotal.
