The inside reverse handoff to Rodgers was a staple in Devaney's playbook.

    I have already agreed they threw the ball to Rodgers in 1971.  But, it
wasn't like the 1971 Huskers were rapid fire throw the ball Rodgers attack.
They still were weighted toward the run.  For the life of me I can't find
any exact statistics and am relying totally on memory, which in my case
isn't always the best ;-).  I remember them throwing the ball to Rodgers for
sure but I remember them using him many ways of which passing was a part.
When you have backs like Jeff Kinney rushing is a very important part.

I never learned anything when I was the one doing the talking.
