Special teams coaches at every level harp ceaselessly on these points: 1) Once a kickoff has traveled 10 yards, it\'s a live ball. 2) The return team\'s four front-line guys, who line up 15 yards from the ball, are not to drop back  until they\'re sure it\'s been kicked deep. Breaking down film, Osborne noticed that at least one of Stanford\'s front-line players was bailing a second early. He would make the visitors pay for that.

In this replay, you see him selling a deep kick, right up until the moment he pulls back, just tapping the top of the ball. You see Stanford\'s middle two front-line guys bailing early. The Cardinal\'s Jackson Cummings actually stays home and is in position to recover the kick -- until he is leveled by reserve linebacker Boseko Lokombo. Tracking the ball like a bloodhound, Beard lets it travel the requisite 30 feet, then snatches it out of the air on its third hop.
