BYU was penalized twice for doing this. I just noticed when re-watching part of the game that Kingsley was taken out at the knees just before Jaren scored on the touchdown pass from Chase Roberts. Seems like an obvious call.

Nope. Dude dove at Jaren’s legs and took out lineman in process. No call.

That is because the player was making a tackle. Rule doesn't apply then.

You can't take out the blocker below the waist just so you can get to the ball

I agree the refs missed the call.

Likely a missed call. New rule this year and the refs, players, and coaches will take some time to comply.

Things you learn. You can’t go down to the lower legs on a lineman, but you can do it to a quarterback or running back.
