The Illegal Block on Alcorn State Defense

[AE 87]

So, I thought that maybe I wasn't alone in finding this call unusual. Snoddy had a long run, and there was a flag on the play which ended up being an illegal block below the waist against Alcorn State's defense. Poor Ricky Jeaune, watch (keep your eyes on Ricky at the bottom of the screen):

Thank you! I don't know about anybody else but I had never heard of that, let alone see what caused the call when it happened. I had played football through high school, now work as a manager for a college and had no idea this was even a thing. I guess this goes to show you how much you don't know until you see it.

Makes sense to have such a call. Like holding up receiver with a wrap around will get a call. I too have not seen it before but doubt that it is tried very often. Glad to see what actually happened because it was not clear in watching the game.

Yes, thanks for the video, because the yahoos at Fox Sports South liked the sound of their voice to much to worry about such things. I have seen this done before, but never downfield, always along the line of scrimmage to break up a blocking wedge. It is a move that I still find very puzzling. He took himself out and did the blocker's job, or did he fear a deep pass and got not so creatively aggressive?

Nothing but a cheap shot in my mind. No other reason possible.

Probably thought he was paying back.

He seems to be watching Snoddy instead of our WR. The cut may have been a result of him falling. It could have been a cheap shot, I honestly can't tell.

I can tell...

This looks no different from targeting to me.

Thanks for the video @AE 87. At the game I didn't notice and wondered -
Who and where?

He's actually the one who made the tackle, if he didn't it might have been a TD. He probably did it because he was sick and tired of being owned by Rickys blocking.

Reminds me of the official that was attacked in the high school game in TX. Classless!

 

[AE 87]

I think.#24 was also the guy who ended up going to the hospital

You're actually pretty close to the truth, I think.

I like how Jeaune popped back up ready to block for Snoddy although Snoddy was brought down before he could help.

Ricky Jeune! Brandon called him a man among boys on one play!

Creepy voice.
