By the way, Baylor’s kick block strategy is clearly a violation of the intent of the rules protecting the long snapper. They had three guys hitting the right guard and the long snapper all at the same time. They did not allow for the one second to expire.
They can not argue that contact was made with the guard first. There was clear contact with the long snapper by the most inside rusher even though he appears to be lined up closer to the guard.
But no one will look at it and no one cares.
I mean, if you can head hunt on a kick off, then who cares if you violate the rules intended to protect the long snapper. And don’t give me the gray area crap. The gray area argument is for cheaters.
