NCAA committee tabled potential ban on hip-drop tackles amid NFL's controversial rule change

The NCAA is now in a position to study how the NFL enforces the play this upcoming season

www.cbssports.com

The NCAA Rules Committee discussed following in the NFL's footsteps and adopting a rule banning the controversial hip-drop tackle this year, CBS Sports has learned. Those talks were tabled, however, as the committee decided it would be too difficult to legislate the rule on the field.

The NFL on Monday adopted a rule against the obscure defensive tactic citing player health and safety concerns. The NCAA Rules Committee has been aware of concerns over hip-drop tackles but decided to keep it on "our active discussion list," according to coordinator of officials Steve Shaw.

"The conclusion from this year's meeting was that we needed a solid definition of the action," Shaw told CBS Sports."[Waiting is] an excellent way to teach players how to avoid this technique and to ensure we can administrate it."

Shaw said it would be difficult for any official to enforce a penalty on the hip drop and explained the rule would add to an already full plate of issues for crews to monitor on any given play. The NFL defines a hip-drop tackle as a defender who "grabs the runner with both hands or wraps with both arms and unweights himself by swiveling and dropping his hips and/or landing on and trapping the runner's leg(s)."

Just play flag football already

And, even if we lose, it's all good because 10-2 gets us in the playoff
We have to stop thinking the goal is to be 12-0--just do enough to make the playoff and be playing your best football then

Halftime analysis: forget the happy talk. We're getting beat. And this despite several dropped passes and missed throws on the part of Wisconsin's back-up QB. Not to mention two critical penalties that wiped out big Wisconsin gains.

Drew looked fantastic in the 1st quarter. But the running game has reverted to 2023 levels. And where's Fleming? OK, he had a horrible drop, so are you going to sit him for the rest of the year? Don't have that luxury. Also, what about our all-world TE? He's our key player on O (other than Drew), but he hasn't figured much in the O so far.

We came back from 14 down at the half against USC. We can make up a 3-point deficit against Wisconsin. But we don't have any room for error...or time to screw around. Gosh, I sure hope Drew is OK. Also, I didn't like the look of Dani's injury.

Why doesn’t everyone put handjobo on ignore so we can enjoy the thread. It works best if everyone does it and no one responds it keeps the thread more enjoyable instead of constant arguing.

Because many agree with me and the others need me to feel alive--see a mirror for one example of that.

 

[Delcolion915]

Pass protection is an issue here. Defense wise, need to dump the zone and play man-blitz. He has way too much time to throw.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

I feel this

Many of them are posing-trolls, not real PSU fans - a$$-stain HandjoCommando being the quintessential example.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

If you're a Penn State fan (as you all), you can look at this two ways.

1) A lot went wrong and Penn State is only down three to a team they're very much more talented than and should beat.

2) A lot went wrong and they're lucky to only be down 3.

Seems like a pretty clean split based off what I've been seeing in here.

In fairness, this entire thread is a dumpster fire ... it's all the negative nellies LOVING the fact that they get to bitch and moan, and Lando being Lando. Take away Lando (yay!), and you're still left with everyone hanging off the bridge waiting to jump, and enjoying the despair.

If it’s Beau, then it’s Beau. Either way… LET’s F’IN GO!

 

[bdroc]

I missed the 1st half, is it a big game yet?

Lando says no

 

[Nostraduzzi]

After all, we brought our C game which is all we need. Right Lando?

He said C- would be enough.

It's odd--because the only thing that could have us down by more than 3 is the kick return being called back.

 

[lazydave841]

Also, I didn't like the look of Dani's injury.

As much stretching as he was doing, I wouldn't assume DDS has anything seriously wrong. Probably a pulled muscle.

 

[LandoComando]

He said C- would be enough.

And if we play like we did in the first half we win

 

[m.knox]

Because many agree with me and the others need me to feel alive--see a mirror for one example of that.

I don't see anyone agreeing with you. As usual.

 

[GSPMax]

Ohio State was losing in the second half today against Nebraska--do they suck?

Yes.

Right now Wisconsin is winning at scrimmage and Frankly just out playing us. The score actually should be worse if not for that phantom holding call on the ko return. We need to start winning at scrimmage and start putting them inside their own 10 to start drives. Biggest issue outside of our injury issues is we are starting everything inside our 20.

 

[PurposePitch]

Things get interesting if we don't see Allar out there to start the 3rd. The way his knee bent and then the way that he tried to walk it off but it seemed to get worse as he went along ...

 

[LandoComando]

As much stretching as he was doing, I wouldn't assume DDS has anything seriously wrong. Probably a pulled muscle.

I was concerned it was a groin--those can take a while to heal--at least to be effective against OSU next week

We're a horrid zone-coverage team; our spacing is awful leaving massive gaps in the "slots" and between the "high-low" coverage.

 

[LandoComando]

I don't see anyone agreeing with you. As usual.

Tons of people do
It's just the craziness that don't and feel the need to respond. See who is calm and not arguing with me--they actually know the sport

 

[NCLION]

The panic comes from what we have seen all season
Can’t stop 3rd and long
Sloppy tackling
Poor gap control
No pash rush
Zero forced turnovers
Worrisome special teams
No WR stepping up
No running game

LOL... You thrive off being made fun of? LOL.

 

[lazydave841]

Pass protection is an issue here

I agree. Our Tackles don't seem to step out enough or quick enough. No hand punch. No circling and walling the guy off.

Wonder if Donkoh is hurt? Rucci played exclusively the last 2, maybe 3 drives.

 

[LandoComando]

Now we're screwed
RUN RUN RUN

All tons of them... lol....

 

[Ski]

Quick. Before the 2nd half starts. Is this a big game or not?

 

[Marylovesthelions]

Ti m e for Beau to shine

 

[SUPERTODD]

Welp, can’t really say it was fun while it lasted but that’s the season…

 

[LandoComando]

Quick. Before the 2nd half starts. Is this a big game or not?

No
We have Beau playing so we need Allen and Singelton to win this

No passing RUN

Warren picks up the first on a pass.....

 

[LandoComando]

Warren picks up the first on a pass.....

Horrible throw--just like the deep ball to Warren that was inside and into the safety--tried to kill him

 

[LandoComando]

Beau's good enough to win this game--just QB runs and the backs
No more downfield passing

 

[m.knox]

Horrible throw--just like the deep ball to Warren that was inside and into the safety--tried to kill him

First down. That's how horrible it was.

 

[liquid0623]

We should have been punting

 

[PSUcup1]

This is so bad

 

[LandoComando]

First down. That's how horrible it was.

Because it was late--by the time he threw it the defender was on Warren which is why he had to make the catch after it was knocked away with the contact
See the horrible throw to Singelton and the play before that and the him trying to kill Warren on the deep sideline throw
He can't throw the ball--it's like Michigan with Orji
But it's our only option SO POUND THE BALL
Or play Warren at QB
