I'm OK with it.

The Board Idiot

No, he should not have been flagged,

11/30/15 3:57pm

My understanding is that when there is a live ball like that, you can do

CougBlu

11/30/15 3:57pm

Yep, you can blatantly hold someone back

I agree it seems to be legal; but I don't understand why its not holding...

bluefish

Maybe because no one has possession of the ball at the time?

I think this is right

jellyfish

smart play on his part

Beggar

11/30/15 3:58pm

yeah that was maybe his only chance to take a shot at Chuckie

Yep, without it Laulile does not return it for 6.

At BYU it is taught to hit the fumbler RIGHT IN THE NUTS!

THANKS SISTER HOWELL!

He did it perfectly he had no shot at it and chuckie could have recovered it if

Cougz19

you could also argue that he wasn't 100% sure that Chuckie didn't still have it.

I'm just mad that he didn't punch him near his groin region

cougarnerd

11/30/15 4:03pm

He is basically fair game after a fumble

11/30/15 4:05pm

My favorite of these plays was pendleton doing it to the OSU QB in the wind bowl

shimmy

11/30/15 4:06pm

My first thought too. Heads up play for sure

byuTX

11/30/15 4:11pm

That was a great hit

dilbert

11/30/15 4:15pm

If nothing else, you can make a good case that Shelton didn't

dilbert

11/30/15 4:11pm

It's the same as if a running back is coming through the line on a play fake

jsjohnson1278

11/30/15 4:55pm

i thought JP levelled Jaquizz Rodgers not the QB

Y05

11/30/15 6:18pm

QB is fair game after the fumble. Rough him up.

IronPotato

11/30/15 6:36pm

should this even be a question worth responding on?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

11/30/15 6:59pm

Why not? It was an honest question.

Flippy

11/30/15 7:16pm

Oh I thought it was a joke, but if you are sincerely asking

Tuskaloosa Cougar

11/30/15 7:26pm

I'm not a rule junky. I honestly didn't know.

Flippy

11/30/15 7:30pm

gotcha, my bad Flip
