COLORADO FULLBACK SPINNER
December 24, 1956
Strictly power and one of the bread-and-butter maneuvers of the single wing, this play is particularly effective for Colorado because of the tremendous power of Fullback John Bayuk. Bayuk (30) takes a direct snap from the center, spins to his right, fakes a handoff to the wingback, Dove (11), swinging wide to the left. Then Buyuk completes his spin and drives through the left guard hole. The guard, Wooten (69), and the center, Uhlir (55), double block the defensive right guard, drawing him in; the Colorado right guard, Jones (67), traps the defensive right tackle and the blocking back, Dowler (44), leads the way through the hole. Left End Leahy (84) brushes the tackle, then takes out the linebacker.
