I was listening to Urban Meyer during his B1G weekly conference call and he mentioned that OSU adapted the rugby style tackling technique last year. I never heard of it so I researched it and I found this Pete Carroll tape where he teaches it and states that he used it at USC and now with the Seahawks, one of the best defenses in the NFL.

I'm curious if Rutgers uses it because of the connection Flood has with Seahawks DC Dan Quinn.
