Nope, a blind side block must be from the side - not straight into a guy's chest.

Correct, and as Nuss was hit in the outside of his shoulder, the penalty was called correctly.

Pussy ball. Wow. Lots of estrogen in sticking up for that weak sauce.

Get your T checked, soy boys.

What this really does, is take away the narrative that Pussmeier couldn't have caught the ball carrier.

Funny, coming from the weeping pussy that has started multiple threads on this.

Definition
A blindside block is a block that's made toward the blocker's own end line or against an opponent who is vulnerable to injury.

Legal blindside blocks
A blindside block is legal if it's initiated with open hands and the contact is not forcible. For example, a block that's made like a basketball pick to free the runner is not considered forcible.

---

That block was made toward the blocker's own end line or against an opponent who is vulnerable to injury & was forcible contact. It satisfied the criteria and was the correct call.

I don't know whre you got that, but here's what the actual 2024 NCAA Football Rule book says. Notice this EXACT example is listed as not a foul. The only reason they called it a foul is because Pussmeier flopped like a fish on the play..

quote:

---

Blind-Side Block ARTICLE 18 No player shall deliver a blind-side block by attacking an opponent with forcible contact
(Exceptions: (1) the runner;
(2) a receiver in the act of attempting to make a catch )
(Note: In addition, if this action meets all the elements of targeting, it is a blind-slide block with targeting (Rule 9-1-3 and 9-1-4).

Blind-Side Block—ARTICLE 18 Approved Ruling 9-1-18

B44 intercepts the pass of A12 at the B-20 and turns back up-field on the return

During the return, B21 approaches A88 at midfield from the blind side and blocks A88
(a) with extended hands;
(b) with a screen type block;
(c) by attacking with forcible contact with his shoulder into the chest of A88;
(d) by attacking with forcible contact with the shoulder into the head of A88 B44 returns the pass to the A-20

RULING:
(a) No foul
(b) No foul
(c) Personal Foul, blind-side block, 15-yard penalty from the spot of the foul
(d) Personal Foul, Blind-Side Block with Targeting, 15-yard penalty from the spot of the foul and B21 is disqualified

But your actual problem with that analysis is, the SC player wasn't called for a blindside block.

And when posters stoop to ad hominem personal attacks, they have nothing left to refute what's actually being said

Is this why you keep calling him "Pussmeier"?

But I'm not in an argument/discussion with him, so its not really a personal attack. It's more like a term of endearment....

Notice in your example that A12 threw the interception but was not involved in the play at anytime after the fact.

Your example is inconclusive of what protection a QB has in that situation.

If it was as vicious as LSU fans are saying, why didn't they flag it right away?

Sideline ref at the 15 threw it right away.
