Duke @ Louisville Transition Block Called by Lead

In the defense of the official the contact made on the lower body is made and the defenders legs are extended outside is shoulders, which would be his plane of verticality. I only caught it in slow motion of the replay. Just nitpicking at this point.

I think once you get to this point, you're looking for a reason to call a block.

I'd rather not do that. Playing defense is hard enough and I don't expect perfection.

Agreed like I said just nitpicking.

That the defender's legs are extended outside his shoulders, is only a factor if the contact is on the legs, outside of his shoulders. The contact in this play was not of that nature.
