Louisville @ ND, Rich's video request #1

[JetMetFan]

Sorry. Getting to these as fast as I can what with work, games and...what's that thing? Oh yeah, sleep getting in the way

6:54 second half. Fifth foul on ND player

[maven]

What a nut cutter! Did R5 go straight up and W45 back up into him? Or was R5 on W45 before he backed up?

Usually you'd see this go the other way...

[Raymond]

That's a call I would make. W45 backed into airborne R5. It was inadvertent but most fouls are. I err in favor of protecting airborne players.

[Red_Killian]

I think this is the correct call.

[Johnny Ringo]

I like the call. However, could you have called RED #44 with a push?

[Tio]

The real foul is on Gold #22 who made no attempt to block out #5. That would have cleaned up the whole mess.

Tough play...

Especially with the positioning and look the lead has on the play. There's definitely a forearm across the chest of the ND player, but can't really tell if it was enough to cause that much displacement. Again, the official has the perfect look, gotta trust it.
