Perhaps the regeneration can be explained by the appearance of new coaching talent on the Blue horizon in the person of Howie Odell. Operating from a basic single wing-back formation, Odell has combined the features of attacks that he learned while coaching at Pittsburgh (under that canny old fundamentalist Jock Sutherland), Harvard, and Pennsylvania.
