How to Do Stiff Arm on NCAA Football 09 for PS3

The "stiff arm" is a classic football move used to knock down or push away defenders in hopes of breaking a tackle and extending the play. Using the stiff arm feature in NCAA Football 2009 for PlayStation 3 only requires a few button presses, and although the stiff arm move is not always effective, it's worth trying it to gain a few extra yards.
