Rules question...

[bignewt]

Josh Smith was flagged for a block in the back yesterday on a Hurd run. The block occured on the line of scrimmage. My question is can you not block in the back on the los? I sure thought you could especially if you are engaged at the los. IBM presents...you make the call!

So i guess the question is where is the zone?

I don't know. Ask Google like I did.

That was a high school rule book btw. I would think it's very similar at the college level.....

As this call proves, "it's all in the eyes of the beholder". If he is in stripes, it changes from play to play!

My question is did they not misspot the ball; it seems it should of been moved back several more yds.

I noticed that too it was weird even if it was from the spot of the foul i think they were left with 2nd and 3 didnt make sense. Of course verne and gary were too busy playing grab ass to notice.

Way I read it, it has to be offensive linemen that throws the block. States conditions have to be met, not one of these conditions being met.
