J-SHUN(NING) TACKLERS

IUHoosiers.com

An old football phrase: "He de-cleated him."

It refers to contact causing an opponent's feet to fly upwards, so that cleats once imbedded in turf suddenly point skyward.

A recent example:

Indiana true freshman defensive back Jamar Johnson's block that sprung senior J-Shun Harris II's scintillating 86-yard punt return touchdown during Saturday's 38-10 win over Ball State.

And it was actually Johnson's second block on the play.

Johnson initially shielded Ball State's Ray Wilborn away as Harris used an initial move to split between BSU's Josh Miller and Tyler Potts and shift into gear.
