Is this the one where the C called the block in front of coach? I was more intrigued that he immediately signaled block and didn't give lead 1st crack at it. Even though lead was on other side of paint I thought typically lead would have the prelim and C goes fist in air and takes it if lead has nothing but must be they covered that in Pregame

Can you tell us a little about the play?

There was also a pass and crash that was no-called at about the 4:05 mark in the first half on MSU's end. Thought it would be a good play for discussion.

It was a clear charge that was called a block by the C (Terry Wymer). I think he was little surprised that the contact/play happened the way it did. Someone will post the video here soon…

Charge.

Outside of the paint, so definitely the C's play all the way. I can see why he came with a block if he only focused on the defenders upper body.

In this case, it would be too much of a reach for lead IMO to grab this. If he had closed down somewhat, possibly. Also, C has a much better angle than lead, surprised he called block.

I'm not a fan of reaching across the paint.

Apparently not since he got it wrong.

The lane line isn't some magical barrier that can't be seen through. It is about where the defender came from and when and who has the best view of how the defender got to the spot. In this case, the lead clearly could have had the best view...the endline camera angle that would have been near the lead's location was very clear on review.
