Denison University's Coach Keith Piper was a great coach and a great person. His son, David, posted a recent reminder on Facebook. I'm sure Coach Piper was a great dad, too. Thanks, David.
Coach Piper continued to coach single-wing football long after other coaches had moved on the the T-formation and others. Keith said, "It's good for utilizing slower, smaller players, and because opponents only see it once a year, you take them by surprise."
Buffalo State looked pretty surprised to me.

Thanks for the reminder. I remember watching the Big Red prcatice the single wing. What a treat to watch.
Loved the SI article.
Thanks again, Randy.
