The "Stiff Arm"

Jeremiah Johnson has secured his place in Oregon history by his stiff arms alone. During the 2006 season, the Oregon Ducks were playing the Fresno Bulldogs and Jeremiah Johnson stiff armed a defender on the way to the end zone on a rush to the left side. His stiff arm made a dramatic return when he took out a Michigan Wolverine defender with it.
