MTD, Jr., and I scoured the NCAA Football Rules Book and we found the Section of the Rules with regard to Roughing and Running Into The Kicker, but we could not find an exact definition of each.

And it sure did look like Roughing The Kicker.

The way it's enforced is pretty clear -- if you hit the kicking leg and not the plant leg and if it's not "compressed", it's only going to be running into and not roughing. If you hit the plant leg, it's 15.

It is like a lot of things in life where you will not find a hard definition to something, but to those that work the game would not have a hard time making a decision. He was only displaced and not hit very hard. If he was roughed, he would have gone down primarily because of the contact. He went down mostly acting or trying to embellish the contact, while landing in the same place.

Bill Lemonnier said the call was correct. I'd say he's a reliable critic.

And Meyer was lucky not to draw a flag. You hate to say it, but no way that gets called at that point in the game.

It would not have even hurt Ohio at all. If they accepted the penalty, they rekick the ball.
