2007 Stagg Bowl.

I need some help here.  I noticed that many of the plays on the line of scrimmage showed the ball carrier being pushed from behind by a "blocking" running back.

Isn't that a penalty...to push or pull or otherwise aid a runner by physically moving the runner in a forward motion?

Thanks.

Hey Ralph,

Here is the link to the 2007 stagg bowl:  http://www.catdomealumni.com/embedvids/2007stagg.html   

(Yes, I'm still planning on embedding my vids only on Catdomealumni but haven't picked up the flash software yet)

You "hawked" your website but didn't answer my question!

Per the 2007 NCAA Football rulebook Rule 9-3, Section 3, Article 2:

Interfering for or Helping the Runner or Passer

ARTICLE 2. a. The runner or passer may use his hand or arm to ward off
or push opponents.
b. The runner shall not grasp a teammate; and no other player of his
team shall grasp, push, lift or charge into him to assist him in forward
progress.
c. Teammates of the runner or passer may interfere for him by blocking
but shall not use interlocked interference by grasping or encircling one
another in any manner while contacting an opponent.

PENALTY—Five yards from the basic spot [S44].

Thanks, Ron.  I thought that I saw several TD's (on both sides) that would have been outlawed on instant replay.

The most recent most notorious no call concerning this rule in my mind is the Brady Quinn-Matt Leinart USC-ND tilt.

There seems to be a tendency to call this infraction differently from the goalline as opposed to between the twenties.

Ran into a group of West Africans that were installing a spinning fullback series from shotgun the other day.  Didn't get to talk to them, but don't think they're attached to any of the local semi-pro teams.  Not sure the historical accuracy of their wares.  The play looked part Chuck Foreman part Canadian Football League whip route and less Sammy Baugh.  This rule had occurred to me at the time. 

Think certain grind offenses such as the Veer fullback ride in the option game have the potential to violate this rule with regularity.  The Midline, the speed with which the fullback either takes or gives, elongated fullback stance and quarterback midline maintenance seemingly works to mitigate this concern.

I just set up a YouTube user group for any of you that post football clips.

http://www.youtube.com/group/divisionIII

The hard part with YouTube is finding other Division III vids so I set this up to help create a spot where D3fans can share their clips. 

The group is for any D3 sports videos.  Check it out and join up.

I think this is a good idea. The more I search for stuff, the more YouTube videos I come across. Granted, I don't watch them all, but I was thinking we should start to corral them in some of sort of way ... Maybe an ATN mention for YouTube clip of the week, but here you've already gone and done something. Nice.

Have you gotten any response yet?

[K-Mack]

Didn't take me long to answer my own question. 40 videos and 14 members. Not a bad start!

This topic was talked about right before the playoffs (I think on the rule board?).  I was at the NEFC final game where Curry College beat Coast Guard.  During that game on many occasions, Curry (a much bigger team), would line up in a wishbone, put in a lineman at fullback, and then sneak it with the QB.  The fullback and other backs would crush the line, causing the whole line, (And QB) to go forward at least a yard. 

After this game, people discussed it further in the 2007 Stagg Bowl.  It was kind upon that the refs simply have not made this call.  It should be looked at in my opinoin.

Penalties cannot be assessed via instant replay (with a few exceptions, like intentional grounding).  Otherwise there would be a holding call on every review.
