[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 321881, member: 265"] I agree about the points scored angle. I think the colleges got worried by the way the pro game had gotten more offensive and was attracting more spectators. There's also the detrimental effects of spearing: too many concussions and neck injuries. I am in favor of that part of the new regime. I think the size and athleticism argument cuts both ways, however. By blocking the way we do we actually neutralize a lot of the size differential, as others have pointed out. I think the physical advantages would cancel out, iow. I don't think we'll see changes in the rules to get rid of the flagrant holding we now see, however. OL blocking has gotten to be like Italian soccer; we actually teach OLs to disguise holds and to block in ways that skirt the rules. Like you, I feel for the refs. [/QUOTE]
