[Husker] TO clarifies when coaching decision to come

[Mike Nolan]

> Not so. TO invented the I formation, went from that to a high powered passing offense in the mid-70s, back to a balanced offense in the 80s and then to the true option in the 90s.

The I formation actually dates back to Tom Nugent, who used it at VMI in
around 1940, then took it to Florida State in 1954.

The person who really developed it into what we know today was John McKay 
at USC in the 1960's.
