Is it okay that Shelton tackled Chuckie after he fumbled, or should that have

Flippy

I'm OK with it.

No, he should not have been flagged,

11/30/15 3:57pm

My understanding is that when there is a live ball like that, you can do

CougBlu

11/30/15 3:57pm

Yep, you can blatantly hold someone back

jellyfish

11/30/15 4:02pm

I agree it seems to be legal; but I don't understand why its not holding...

bluefish

11/30/15 4:39pm

Maybe because no one has possession of the ball at the time?

Bergloewe

11/30/15 4:53pm

I think this is right

jellyfish

11/30/15 5:05pm

smart play on his part

Beggar

11/30/15 3:58pm

yeah that was maybe his only chance to take a shot at Chuckie

Yep, without it Laulile does not return it for 6.

that's how the teach it. somebody hit the fumbler.

riboflavin

11/30/15 4:03pm

At BYU it is taught to hit the fumbler RIGHT IN THE NUTS!

I just wish we were better at connecting on those shots.

THANKS SISTER HOWELL!

Funke

11/30/15 4:14pm

He did it perfectly he had no shot at it and chuckie could have recovered it if

Cougz19

11/30/15 4:31pm

you could also argue that he wasn't 100% sure that Chuckie didn't still have it.

Cougarclaw

11/30/15 4:03pm

I'm just mad that he didn't punch him near his groin region

cougarnerd

11/30/15 4:03pm

He is basically fair game after a fumble

11/30/15 4:05pm

My favorite of these plays was pendleton doing it to the OSU QB in the wind bowl

shimmy

11/30/15 4:06pm

My first thought too. Heads up play for sure

byuTX

11/30/15 4:11pm

That was a great hit

dilbert

11/30/15 4:15pm

If nothing else, you can make a good case that Shelton didn't

dilbert

11/30/15 4:11pm

It's the same as if a running back is coming through the line on a play fake

jsjohnson1278

11/30/15 4:55pm

i thought JP levelled Jaquizz Rodgers not the QB

Y05

11/30/15 6:18pm

QB is fair game after the fumble. Rough him up.

IronPotato

11/30/15 6:36pm

should this even be a question worth responding on?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

11/30/15 6:59pm

Why not? It was an honest question.

Flippy

11/30/15 7:16pm

Oh I thought it was a joke, but if you are sincerely asking

Tuskaloosa Cougar

11/30/15 7:26pm

I'm not a rule junky. I honestly didn't know.

Flippy

11/30/15 7:30pm

gotcha, my bad Flip
