In a particular football game, Bear Bryant, legendary coach for Alabama told his qb to run the ball to take time off the clock to maintain a six point lead. Knowing the defensive opponent would expect a running play, the qb instead chose to pass the ball. Unfortunately, he throws an interception to the fastest guy on the field playing for the opponent, but miraculously chases him down and tackles him short of the end zone. Alabama's defense holds on and denies the opponent from scoring, thus preserving the victory.
After the game, the opposing coach asks Bear Bryant, "What's this business about your qb not being a runner? He ran down my speedster from behind!" Bear Bryant responded, "Your man was running for six points. My man was running for his life."
