USC - TD celebration

[InsideTheStripe]

I'm not penalizing all of them individually. One foul.

I agree, one foul. It was one act even if it included more than 1 participant.

Now, what are the rules on taunting, and could any of the actions been considered taunting. I know some places emphasis taunting as an electable offense and really push for ejections for taunting. Considering this was on the losing teams side (or so I read), could it be considered taunting.

High School football....extension of the classroom, etc.

4 players committing UNC deserves 4 flags. What difference does it make that it is the "same act". They each individually made a decision to commit the foul and by rule dead ball fouls are enforced in order. If we only penalize one the result is that the other fouls are okay (even encouraged since no consequence).

Why would we NOT have penalties on each player that committed an act against the rules and apply the penalty as defined in the rule book?

Absent any casebook play, specific directive from the Powers That Be(tm), or unusual game situation (specific bad blood previously between the two teams, previous UNS fouls in the game, etc), I'm treating it as a single foul.
