Darrell Royal called his new 1968 offense a "wishbone" offense after it was first named the "pulleybone" offense by a reporterIt was Emory Bellard, an assistant of Darrell Royal who created the "Wishbone" and a sportswriter named Mickey Herskowitz gave it the name in 1968.
The wishbone offense got its name because of the way it looks when diagrammed. In the wishbone offense the backfield is shaped like an inverted Y (or a "wishbone from a turkey", get it? ) : TE/WR_____LT LG C RG RT______TE/WR ______________QB ______________FB ___________RB_____RB (please forgive the lines, I didnt know how else to space the positions apart. Tab wouldn't work.)
