The fact of the matter is that Lou Holtz was flat out wrong in stating
NU was an 'option offense' in 1971. The option's visibility increased in
the post-Ferragamo years of Tom Sorley, Tim Hager and Jeff Quinn.(late
70's).

     But that wasn't the statement.  The statement was that TO's 
option/power I offense made it's foundation in the 70's.  While it is 
obvious the option increased over the years it did indeed have its basis in 
the early 70's.  You do remember Tagge running the option don't you?  NU 
wasn't an option offense at that time but the basis was there.
