If you are referring to the 79 game in Birmingham ..Arians was only a Graduate Assistant on that team.... that was the infamous game where Bellard had switched practice fields with Starkville Academy so that when the Bear had a photographer fly over and take pictures ...they would see that MSU was in the wishbone. Bellard was installing the shotgun and using the kicker Dave Marlar was the QB over at Starkville Academy The plan was to play close the first half in the wishbone then break out the shotgun in the second half so Bear couldn't adjust...the starting QB got hurt early and MSU had the go to the shotgun before they wanted...that was the breakout game for Mardye McDole who caught 10 balls that game which was unheard of in those days.
