as fast as he could. Using a technique the coaches drilled into his head called "angle and pursuit," Stuckey can play catch up.
At Kansas' 40-yard line, Stuckey is within five yards of Livas. He's in attack mode and Livas knows he's being tracked. Livas is turning his head around, as he runs and Stuckey knows he can catch him. If not for a rule against horse-collar tackling, Stuckey could have taken Livas down at the 20-yard line.
"The only thing I'm thinking is, the no horse-collar rule, the no horse-collar rule, the no horse-collar rule, I think if the horse collar
