Former Rice great Dicky Maegle was just interviewed on the sideline by Fox television. Maegle is part of one of the most famous plays in college football history and it happened in the 1954 Cotton Bowl.
Maegle had broken a run down the right sideline and was sure to score when Alabama's Tommy Lewis jumped off the benched and tackled him. The old footage of the famed "bench tackle" still gets a chuckle when it's shown at Cotton Bowl functions.
