How to stop a good back: Don't let his get started - Get him before he gets to Jukeville! - "The 80 Yard Run" And how do you do that? "Our guys really don't have the threat of getting hurt in an actual game because they're just better, and better prepared, and they pLAy at a different speed - a different tempo." Coach Daddo, 'The 80 Yard Run' .......If your team is Bigger, Faster, Stronger & better prepared than the other team, you will get to that back before he gets to Jukeville most of the time. Remember, USC with O.J. Simpson lost to Ohio State's team defense in the Rose Bowl despite his running ability. Why? You guessed it - he never got to Jukeville. You may remember that Jack Tatum led that defense.
And that IS a Tackle. Tackling at all levels seems to be a lost art, but not here. OJ got away with one 8O yard scoring run but bottled up the remainder of the game. Who knows who the defensive backfield coach was for that game?
