..."The guys who were really close to Mario, they were the ones who came up with the thought," USC coach Pete Carroll said of the empty-man formation.Buehler, also a kicker, and snapper Will Collins are the guys who approached Carroll about lining up without Buehler on the field.
The chain of events started with a friend of Buehler's father coming up with the idea. Father told son.
"I thought it was a good idea," Buehler said.
During a team meeting Saturday morning, Buehler mentioned the idea to Collins. He also thought it was a good idea.
"So we talked to Coach and he liked it," Buehler said...
...They went straight to Pete and pitched the missing-man formation to him?
"Yes," Buehler said. "We went straight to Pete, ah, Coach Carroll. He liked it."...
