That’s a straight-T. The Double Wing has the half-backs lined up off the outside hip of the TE or Tackle if there’s a split-out (see Air Force’s ‘slot-backs’). It’s cool to see the old Belly-G scheme.

Back again in 2021 to watch this hidden gem.

Love that full house horseman backfield.

One of Lou Somogyi, sports writer/editor's Blue and Gold magazine covers: "Good, Better, Bettis."

Bettis was an athletic freak he was bigger than half of the Defensive lineman he went against and had the agility of a cat I loved watching him play at Notre Dame in that offense

People didn't hardly realized the depth of this RB crew. Bettis and his back mate Reggie Brooks, replaced legends of Anthony Johnson and Ricky Watters. Also standing behind and alongside them was Ray Zellers, Dorsey Levens, Rodney Culver, Marc Edwards, Lee Becton, Autrey Denson, Randy Kinder, Jeff Burris(CB/RB) and Ryan Grant. All was NFL starters. Only college you can compare as more talented is Miami, but the difference is Bettis,Grant, Levens and Watters all have SB rings.

I remember watching Norte Dame during this era in the mid 90’s . This was when Norte Dame would just beat teams up. They were tough. Bettis was the fullback and Culver and Brooks split time at tail. Each of the running backs back then weighed over 225 lbs. could you imagine playing an entire game with these big bruisers punishing the defense every play?

I CANT believe how stupid the coaches are to DO this in the past; give Fullbacks the ball with a useless Tailback out of the play behind the FB! The dominant formation was what Madden used to call 'Proform' split backs; not I formation; when the FB got the ball the HB blocked. Not with 90's Notre Dame though!! You have Bettis and you don't even give him his OWN FB or at least put the HB in position to block someone? I formation running its ALREADY a disadvantage; 9 blockers because QB and ball carrier don't block; now lets make it 8 on 11? Bettis is a beast just for breaking runs in THAT stupid set up.

Walter White what you don't realize is that USELESS tailback was often Ricky Watters. The Bus pounded the middle and opened up the outside for Watters and the passing game.

The only player I ever saw who at one point had more tds than yards lol

Love hearing the pads poppin like in the Penn State game.

He had such great nimble feet for someone his size. It was amazing to watch him tiptoe through the hole and then hit that second gear for as big as he was. One of my all-time favorite players! But I was also a die-hard Browns fan so I loved and hated him LOL

I love the Full house and Wing T and Straight T, that the Irish used. So cool. The straight to power, lmao, love it!

Marc Edward's and the bus. You couldn't beat those two.

Not a huge Norte Dame fan but love old school football. A couple things, Irish had bad luck while Bettis was there. Always felt like his Freshman year they should of won the title vs Colorado. Rocket ran that punt back.. Bettis’s last year they lost to Stanford which snowballed them. A big reason they lost that game was Bill Walsh was the NBC analyst for a few years before taking the job in Palo Alto. Still, it’s damn impressive that Bettis avg. 5.7 a clip and I’d say 85% of his work was between the tackles. His last year he did play some TailBack to close games out.

That Florida game was a killer for the Gators. I was in my sophomore year...

Human battering ram. Wearing out the opposing defense. Beat my Gators in the Sugar Bowl back in the day.

Still vividly remember the game he obliterated Florida in the Sugar Bowl.

It's hard to tackle a hard-running 250 pound back when the OL is opening holes you could drive a Peterbilt through.

I think that he would've been great with at halfback, with fullback in front of him too, since he'd be have more room to build up speed. And he'd have been much better as a fullback in Oklahoma's wishbone as well. Defenses would've been so distracted trying to account for everyone else in the 'bone that Bettis would've had huge lanes to run through.
