From what I saw, the only official able to make that call was the one facing the play. The official running to catchup can't see it, It would be a stretch for the BJ. If you gentlemen saw it as a no-call, I will yield to the masses. I'm here to learn as well as to offer opinons.

When shown live it looked like a good clean block, and being an LSU fan I got all excited - HOWEVER, when the replay showed, my excitement was tempered by the fact that it was helmet-to-helmet contact and I was hoping the Miss. State player wasn't seriously hurt.

BUT, I guess I'll be in the minority with JRutledge - I thought the play was clean with no intentional helmet contact. I thought that the blocker led with the shoulder and the helmets collided unintentionally. I don't think I would have had a flag.

This type of play will always be a judgment call, but in this case I also agree with JR for reasons he so eloquently stated. I thought he lead with the shoulder and subsequently - contact with the helmets occurred. No foul.

I looked for this video on YouTube for about 10 minutes. Does anyone have a link a video of this play? I'd love to see it again.
