Wasn't aware of this

The halo rule on punts has been re-instituted. Defenders must allow a one-yard buffer zone around the punt returner.

I've seen punt coverages a lot closer than that shite all season that were never flagged.

how does that apply to being blocked into the halo with an illegal block in the back?

So it's your own teammates that can cause the penalty

I'm not saying I agree with the call.. but I had thought that the halo rule was done away with back in 2003.

It really wasn't. But this game won't be close, so it won't matter.

Either way, first guy's knee hit him and the 2nd guy hit the ball and the returner before the ball hit the ground. Both are penalties.

The ball isn't live just cause he bobbled it.

I'm pretty sure a Bama player was the one who was the closest to the return man. If anyone was within the "halo" it was him

I hate both schools btw

And they should have stopped Eddie Lacy after the fact regardless

I guess the head of officiating that was interviewed by the commentators was blind
