Probably for that tackle on CMac as much as anything. I don't think he had a clutch kick like Conrad's v. USB.
It bugged me that the Wildcaff clips included the part about "Fairbairn has no chance" (to catch Wildcaff) except he did. Felt to me like false advertising. We're better than that...

Fairbairn didn't tackle McCaffrey. McCaffrey beat Fairbairn (#15) and was tackled by another guy (#18). You can see the play here -- it's highlight #9: http://www.stanforddaily.com/2015/12/10/...15-season/

You're absolutely correct, Terry. #15 was not involved in stopping the play.

Thanks for the link. That was fun. I didn't mean to say #15 tackled our man, and it still looked to me like Fairbairn slowed him down enough for #18 to get to him. Plus the quote from the same article you linked:
Quote:He wasnt quite able to outrace UCLA kicker Kaimi Fairbairn if you were averaging 269 all-purpose yards per game, youd get tired too for the score and was dragged down inside the 10-yard line
Nonetheless, I take your points. He didn't "catch" him. I stand corrected on that count. Not sure about "no chance."
I'd like to end on an awesome note. T-shirt says "The home of Intellectual Brutality."
