Rules help! Hurdling or Leaping?????

[GUNTERSVOL]

I think in the AU game an AU runner had a big gain called back for jumping over me a tackler. BUT BUT BUT I saw at least 2,plays on ESPN top plays featuring similar plays. Clarification anyone.

Too many rule books run together for me, but i thought the ball carrier was exempt. College rule?

Thanks.

Thanks. Thought so, about the ball carrier being exempt. Had to be a major oops on that crew.

Hate mis applied rules, this was not a judgement issue. The other AU issues were all on them.
