Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State vs. Ohio

No, it isn't the rule - it's the b1g with another of their fabricated bullshit calls attempting to wipeout a big PSU play and kill their momentum. It isn't a blind side play when the defender is running directly toward the blocker! A blind-side block is when a defender is changing direction on a counter-play and is hit before he even sees the blocker.
Rouke's pass on 3rd down is off target as Chop Robinson got to him. Parker Washington returns the ensuing punt to the Nittany Lions 15.
Chop Robinson was a real find inn the portal this year. He's a disruptive force and has been pressuring the QB.
Penn State tries to run to the outside w/ Singleton but has little success. A facemask, however, will move the ball to the 30-yard line.
This part of your post is correct. They made the call because the defender was looking at the runner instead of what was in front of him.
Perhaps they should define the word "blindside" if they are going to enforce it this way. Officials should be discussing this if they have not defined it more clearly.
This is something they're going to call--it's more about the rule being stupid than anything else.
Also, why wouldn't the defender be looking at the man with the ball given the rule?
it is nice to have speed at rb again. We have not seen it since Journey Brown.
Not disagreeing with you. To me it would make sense to define "blindside" as some sort of angle.
We know that clipping is a block in the back. Is blindside a block from the side?
If you can't block someone unless he is looking at you, that is a crazy rule for football.
Yeah, I’m watching in a restaurant. Got piledrived into the turf straight on his non throwing shoulder. Legal play 10 years ago, but not now.
Penn State's third offensive drive of the game will start at their own 48-yard line after a nice return by Parker Washington.
Bryce Effner and Hunter Nourzad on the field this drive for Penn State should've mentioned that.
Don't remember if I posted my thoughts, but yea, I think we're going to see another Saquon in this class, or at least another Sanders. Definitely NFL material in a few years.

I thought it was a clean hit--the rules are tough on defenders
Barney Amour is pretty good at this punting thing. He pins Ohio at their 1-yard line after a generous bounce.
Singleton is going to be a great one. PSU needs to adjust its offense. The RPO handoffs are doing this kid a huge injustice.
Penn State has their first defensive score of the season as Ohio fumbled the handoff. Rouke falls on top of the ball and he's downed for a safety. 16-0 Penn State.
Yet another horseshit made-up bullshit call on PSU (CJF can be seen saying the same thing). They don't blow whistle and throw flag until Ohio defensive tackle hits PSU player before snap - then they make no call and huddle-up for an inordinate amount of time and call "False Start - multiple PSU players simulating a snap" which is complete bullshit as none of the PSU players were moving. b1g Officials are such an utter joke in PSU games it isn't even funny.
