History

Acoording to the existing reference in the article at http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/2006-01-19-tom-nugent-obit_x.htm, Tom Nugent was credited with "developing" and not "inventing" the I formation. This would be consistent with http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1171812/1/index.htm which says "its precise origins are unclear"

Needs to be fixed..

Currently suggests that coach Jim Harbaugh invented the I Formation at Michigan in 2016, when in fact its been around a lot longer. 198.199.208.76 (talk) 21:09, 21 October 2016 (UTC) BB

Is it still one of the most common?

At least in the NFL, I-formation was probably the 4th or 5th most common formation last year. Shotgun and Singleback formations are far more common in the NFL today, yet those pages do not make similar claims.

That being said, I know the NFL is not the only venue for American Football, and I-formation is more popular in scholastic football. I'm open to discussion, but I think the current state of these three articles are misleading. Jtbwikiman (talk) 18:48, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Pittsburgh Steelers incorrect colors

The Pittsburgh Steelers wear black and gold, not "black and yellow". 207.68.122.32 (talk) 15:37, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
