It is not.
You have to grab and pull toward the ground. He grabbed and pulled back to slow him down, then "jumped on his back."
And that is perfectly legal.

He didn't pull the guy toward the ground though. It's not a question of whether he pulled him completely to the ground or not, because he didn't pull him toward the ground at all.
Somehow Joel Klatt found that contact way worse than the one they picked up against WVU - huh???????
And replay showed that wasn't PI. Kimber has a right to go for the catch as much as the WVU WR. Did he tug his jersey?
Great to see Vilbert beat his man to the QB.
There's a Cam Wallace sighting....
Backups in including Rucci, Cousins, Rulli, ......WR Johnson, Ivey, Flowers.
Then Lane in on D.
Washington had played, but he showed strong hands with that INT.

Here’s the part where our backups get playing time and WVU coaches and fans cry because the backups actually try to play football with the playing time they are getting.
It doesn't matter - you aren't allowed to pull on the back collar of jersey at all to assist your tackle. He reached out from behind and pulled directly backwards using back of collar opening to allow himself to catch up and jump on NS's back - that is illegal and specifically a 15 yard PF.
Did his knees buckle as the rule says? His knees buckling would cause him to slow down, no? Doesn't matter now that we will see no replay.
I'll be honest with you, it was as strange as anything I've ever seen. I understand they are paid to hype a game, but this was absurd.
The WVU fans I know were calm all week. No outrageous predictions. It seems this was purely hype for entertainment purposes.
Yupp...and it drove down the line and lots of people fell for it. On paper this was never going to be close.
WVU may do better now without Greene lol
That FG attempt was weak. It was like 10 yards wide. Gotta be better.
He’s now missed every fg he’s attempted in the last two WVU games; that was just an awful miss. He was replaced in the middle of the WVU game last season.
Haven't watched any of it but Ohio State is in for a long season if Will Howard doesn't improve
Franklin could take a lesson from Paterno -- go talk to the men's soccer coach...
Especially, considering that PSU is 33-2 in their last 35 games against WVU dating back to 1959 (now 34-2).
Pleased. We looked physically dominant
Franklin post game comment: We unnecessarily burned a few time outs which is something we never do.
That is false. It is the pulling down that is illegal. It’s right there in the rules.
Some of you guys need to get a grip. PSU rather easily dispatched a better than average P4 team on the road. This was a big game for WVU, they cancelled classes yesterday. Much more good than bad. D was playing fast and nasty. Several explosive plays on offense. Quality win.
Exactly. We aren't A&M. We don't have a history of wasting top rated recruiting classses. Whether we can beat OSU is irrelevant in the other 11 games we play.
I like how things looked today. Enough good for optimism. Enough bad for us to improve.
