Georgia Tech. Football game years ago. GT was ahead 7 to 6.

•Coach told QB not to throw no matter what.

•They ran to the opponents 10 yd. line in last minute of play, but he was overcome by temptation.

•He threw and it was intercepted by the fastest back on the team.

•He started rushing toward the end zone, but the QB suddenly overtook and tackled him.

•Losing coach asked, how did your QB catch my fastest back?

•“Your back was running for a touchdown, my boy was running for his life.”
