Question about soccer style tackle

[Rizzo924]

I actually looked this up in 06 NCAA rules book after all the discussion after the FL game. It is legal to trip the ball-carrier (no one else), I don't think it specified that it mattered if you use your legs or arms -- my read on it was that it is legal.
