Dudley had nothing to do with the offense. The defense was constructed by Tom Greer and Dudley. Jerry Herron coached the offensive line, Larry French the defensive line, while the majority of the offense was controlled by the coaches from Conner. :yawn:

As to the bolded, a positive person will say that Ky stayed with the passing game in spite of the field conditions due to fact that the Conner coaches ran a passing oriented offense with their high school team and that's what they knew best; a cynical person will say that they stayed with the passing game because they were more interested in trying to show case their high school qb to help him get a scholarship than they were about winning the game. Who knows which of the two positions is more accurate. What we do know is that the heavily pass oriented offense they ran didn't work in those field conditions and that some very, very talented running backs on the Ky team didn't get much of a chance to show their talents. For the record, there were no running backs from Highlands on the team so I have no ax to grind.
