Block in BIG 10 Championship
Kenny Bell Huge Block - YouTube
Legal or not in NCAA? The offensive player doesn't lead with his helmet. Does that matter? |

This would be an easy call if the player were a defenseless player like a pass receiver, but he's not. By the current reading of the rule, this should not be called a foul. I suspect the NCAA will change the rule and make ALL targeting at the shoulders and above illegal (except maybe against the ball carrier) next year.
The current rule is that they can't target with the crown of the helmet and can't target above the shoulders against a defenseless player. Neither happened on this play and it was a clean block. Players going from inside out should know they're going to get lit up. |
