Miami Hurricanes coach Jimmy Johnson might have broken Barry Switzer's wishbone offense in 1987, but how?

"I knew how to defend it, and we had good enough players that we could have defended any solid offense," Johnson said. "Having great talent, plus understanding how to defend the wishbone, we shut it down completely.”

And Johnson began his assault on it as the defensive line coach at Oklahoma in 1970 when Switzer installed the wishbone during a bye week before OU played Texas. But Johnson also had Bennie Blades, Jerome Brown, Michael Irvin and Vinny Testaverde in 1985, 1986 and 1987.
