I've seen 1000 stiffarms to the facemask.

I agree that it was technically a face mask, but the bama player absolutely had a face mask also…..

That’s it. Fingers get wrapped in a stiff arm all of the time. Just can’t drag down the defender like that.

He wrapped his fingers around the face mask. Stupid on his part cost us some valuable real estate. All good though.

You can stiff arm, just can’t grab. This ain’t rocket science

Of course the ball carrier can be flagged for facemask.

That play should have been offsetting penalties.

That’s legal. We’ve watched Bama facemask many an opponent with no call. They did it to you guys in the NCG several years ago during their “comeback” win, among other BS.

Touching a facemask is not a penalty.

Grabbing a facemask is a penalty.

You don't, because offensive players are taught not to grab the facemask when throwing a stiffarm.

It is definitely the rule and definitely gets flagged.

Probably, but it shouldn’t be.
