This won’t answer your question.. but It was the beginning of the legend of joe burrow

That hit was the turning point to the greatest player/season in college football history!!

Yes- it fits the definition of blindside


blind side
/'blin(d) '?sid/
noun
noun: blindside
a direction in which a person has a poor view, typically of approaching danger.

Yes by today's rule.

The rule was not put into effect until 2019.

Yes. But the ultimate outcome was worth it.

What i disliked about that play... more than the cheap hit and more than the taunting... was the fact that our reciever(drawing a blank on who it was) just looked at Burrow and headed to the sideline.

Joe getting up after that hit and finishing the game made me a believer.

Yes.

Equally important, and rarely discussed, was the obvious PI against Dillon at the goalline that set the whole play up.

It was an egregious illegal hit. Should have been flagged For,the hit. The other bone head should have been flagged for flexing/taunting

It absolutely was a blindside block. It would have been perfectly legal in 1957. Nowadays, it's just a dirty play. And illegal.
