NCAA Football Blocking Rules

Ohio State vs Arkansas Game in Sugar Bowl. A Buckeye lineman was hit by a Razorback offensive lineman at the knees as DT was returning to the ground after trying to knock down a pass (which happened to be a TD). Was it legal to do this (assuming they were in the "legal blocking zone" ? The ball may have left the zone (1); and (2) blocking below the waist by the OL is allowable (I think) ONLY when the DL has one or both feet in contact with the ground. In this case he was in the air as contact was first made.
