James Richard Smith (1950 2001) invented the I-bone offense while he was a walk-on quarterback hopeful at Texas A&M University under famed wishbone inventor Emory Bellard. Smith developed the I-bone after running the wishbone in practice against the first-team Aggie defense as the attack team quarterback a perspective that enabled him to see firsthand the wishbone s weaknesses and predictability.
