The country's best college rugby coach has thoughts on how 49ers can stop the Eagles' 'tush push'

The 49ers are tasked with the hardest rotating job in the NFL this Sunday with their upcoming matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles and their famed — infamous to some — “tush push.” Head coach Kyle Shanahan knows it, star edge rusher Nick Bosa knows it, and Cal’s 29-time national champion rugby coach Jack Clark knows it.

“I don’t know that there is a reliable answer to stopping this tactic if they only need a yard or two,” Clark told SFGATE over the phone Thursday.

The “tush push” is an adaptation of the quarterback sneak.
