Assisting the runner, NCAA rule
In the 3rd quarter, 6:39 on the clock, of the Cactus Bowl played last night, Kansas St is on UCLA's half yard line. QB takes the snap and immediately the two backs are seen to provide an extra shove through the middle of the line. I've heard that assisting the runner is a part of the NCAA rules but it is almost never called. That would have been foul in an NFHS game and if I'm the R, I'd be reminding the backs to "not help the runner, let him do it on his own", as a preventive officiating measure.
