Hurdling is an attempt by a player to jump (hurdle) with one or both feet or
knees foremost over an opponent who is contacting the ground with no part of
his body except one or both feet.
Why would we hate this... you've posted the correct rule that shows not one, but both reasons this play is not hurdling. What's to hate?

Unless this is different in NFHS from NCAA\

9-1-2-i
There shall be no hurdling (Exception: The ball carrier may hurdle an opponent.)

Looks like he had the ball to me.

Aussie, it is different between NFHS and NCAA. In NFHS, the runner is not permitted to hurdle either.

Thanks Welpe - I thought it might be a difference - I don't have a NFHS rule book. It looked like a college game - wasn't in Texas was it ?

Ego much?

I don't think ANYONE here hated that you pasted the rule that illustrates why this was not hurdling. I think a couple of us were puzzled at your intro of "I know you guys just hate this but...". And I'm puzzled why you've posted again that we hate it, and I'm not sure what you mean by "we;'re wrapped too tight".

We do hate when someone posts an irrelevant rule and tries to morph it to fit some situation for which it was not intended...

But on this one, you posted the right rule that showed the 2 reasons the OP was not hurdling. Nothing to hate there.

John, can we agree that the ball carrier's head and shoulders were first to go over the tackler? That's what I'm seeing, and that does not meet the definition of hurdling. And if you do want this called as a hurdle we're going to be calling every dive over the top in short yardage situations a hurdle.
