Yale's inexperienced offensive line played a role in the change also, Cozza said, because they could learn to block for the wishbone formation more easily than for the T-formation.
About his team's reactions to the wish bone. Cozza commented. "The line is sold on it and the backs are sold on it."
Cozza gave Penn a chance to defeat Dartmouth today if the Quakers play as well as they did against the Elis Coupled with a Yale victory, a Dartmouth loss of tie would give the Elis a share of the Ivy League crown.
Cozza had some hidding words for his punter, Jim Nottingham, who fooled his teammates and coach by taking a punt in the Princeton game and racing 67 yards before being cought from behind on the Princeton 19, "He likes attention," Conne said Appently, "We don't clap enough when he hicks those high boomers."
This Yale team, which has lost only on artificial grass, does prefer natural turf. "Our kids feel more secure on it" the Eli coach said.
The Elis played their best game in their 42-14 victory over Ivy leader Dartmouth, Cozza said. He added, "If we play the way we did against Dartmouth, we could play anyone."
Summing as Yales season and his hopes for the final game Cozza said. "They've come a long way this year. I went to win Saturday."
