Appears to be. While one can not 100% state that one or both feet of the opponent's are in contact with the ground, it appears that they are and the runners right foot is foremost so it would meet the parameters of the rule.

Considering the officials allowed an illegal hideout play in a Michigan game, this doesn't surprise me. Sadly, it happens.

5 trained officials at the game did not call it hurdling, they are doing the state finals so they must be the BEST!! Must not have been hurdling! LOL!!!

It must be hard on you being so perfect - surrounded with imperfect people.

I have hurdling on this play. If Louisiana is like other states, the best officials are not working in the state finals.

I'm certainly glad 5 trained officials did not call this hurdling, especially the opposite wing who was some 50 yards away from the play.

The same reason coaches make boneheaded decisions at every possible level. Because they're human.

And, BTW, you're a troll on this board. Are you really happy being seen that way?

Did anyone on this site tell you that those officials working state finals around the nation are automatically the best? I don't think anyone with more than 2 years in the profession would believe that.

Seven.

And we can tell who's never been selected to work a state championship.
