I'm U in a Varsity game. Normally, on runs up the middle I key off the lead blocker. If he goes to my left, I move to my right, and vice-versa. Lead blocker goes to my right, so I step to my left. As soon as I do, the left-side LB hits me in my back, drives me into the blocker, MLB, AND runner, and we all go down in a heap. To make matters worse, the area is completely void of grass, and the dust flies all over the place. And, to compound the absurdity of the situation, the referee walks over and drops his flag ON ME, and says, "I've got the umpire for blocking below the waist".
