Cut Blocks Outlawed?

Makes me think of the Air Force game a couple years back and what their line did the whole game. 

Given it was an equalizer for them, I know our guys got tore up.  But the NCAA usually follows the NFL. 

Could get interesting if ESPiN makes a fire about it.

That was an illegal cut... much like shots to the head get fined.. that cut should get fined too! You can never cut coming back towards the ball... Had the Guard on the play been running at Cushing (face to face) and cut him.. perfectly legal; not coming back towards the ball (DIRTY!!!)

Remember that in the end you will be judged not by what you believed, planned or dreamed; but, by what you did.

Cut blocks are a part of football.  What he did was illegal because it was from behind.

Chop blocks (one man engaged and another cutting) are also illegal.

I think this is a non issue

As a former linebacker, the worst are crackbacks.

yep, as well as it was illegal when UAB kept doing it against OSU a few weeks ago. Shame it still happens!

Cutting a guy is fine when its one on one. Chopping a guy-where player 1 engages player 2 and player three cuts player 2 at the knees is highly illegal, dirty, bullshit, and a blatant attempt to injure.

I assume someone is going to come out and say "that's football, its tough! PLAY SOCCER IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!" and I would like to say to you, preemptively that you are an ignorant caveman and don't know the difference between cuts and chops.

4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
