re: Auburn fans, what was the point of the cut block

Under the current rules, a cut block is legal unless the defender is engaged by another blocker.

It may change down the line, but it is within the rules. they no longer allow open field cut blocks, and at some point the rules regarding cutting a defender may change.

Option football utilizes cut block on the back sides good bit.

I agree that with the evolution of the game, maybe this should stop.
I’m sure someone is looking at data as I type.

At the end of the day, you won.

Be happy.
