Gallaudet huddle

Gallaudet is generally credited with initiating the use of the huddle to call plays. Since is was a college for the deaf, they believed that another team was reading there hand sign language and instituted the huddle to prevent the other team from seeing them call there plays.

Randolph-Macon

I thought Randolph-Macon was a women's college?

[You're thinking of Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg. Which is my mother's alma mater! And is now coed and called just Randolph College. These guys were playing for Randolph-Macon College in Ashland. There's also a Randolph-Macon prep school, a military academy. - Dave]
