Again... grasping at straws. You are the only one across so many different fan bases that feels this way. Go back and watch the game. You’ll see it on so many different plays.

I'm just quoting the rule and watching the video.

Did he grab him? Yes. Was he already across when he grabbed him? No.

If it makes you feel better, I lost $50 to a friend on the game.

I posted the rule. No one seems to care. You can't pull a player, only push from behind.

SECTION 3. Blocking, Use of Hands or Arms
Who May Block
ARTICLE 1. Players of either team may block opponents, provided it is not
pass interference, interference with the opportunity to catch a kick or a personal
foul (Exception: Rules 6-1-12 and 6-5-4).
Interfering for or Helping the Ball Carrier or Passer
ARTICLE 2. a. The ball carrier or passer may use their hand or arm to ward off
or push opponents.
b. The ball carrier shall not grasp a teammate; and no other teammate shall
grasp, pull, or lift the ball carrier to assist in forward progress. (A.R. 9-3-2-I)
c. Teammates of the ball carrier or passer may interfere with opponents by
blocking but shall not use interlocked interference by grasping or encircling
one another in any manner while contacting an opponent.

That is true, but they did not call pulling. I don’t even think players should push the runner, I may be wrong but think that was illegal years ago.

We did not tackle the Purdue tight end on that sideline play and that is what cost Tennessee the ball game.

Add these to the list…. 1st and goal at the 3 and instead of running it… they pass and get sacked back to the 10. :35 or so left in the first half with the offense not executing worth a crap….. take a knee and get to halftime …, but no…. Fumble give them a TD.

It was, which was why I looked it up.

They neither blew the whistle NOR called the obvious pulling.

I'm not saying the refs weren't awful; I'm saying there were offsetting f ups on the play.

If this had been reversed and Purdue dragged a guy in, the fanbase here would posting the "pulling a player" rule to show we got screwed.
