Bench tackle on a break away

Thanks, Texas Aggie for the history reminder. I have seen film of the famous Cotton Bowl tackle. I understand that at the time, Rule 9 did not specifically have the language authorizing the awarding of a TD, but that this play was the inspiration for adding it to the books.

If it happens --you better make it 'hurt' that team --big time --or else --subs will be stepping off the sideline all night making game saving tackles.
