When is it a penalty for an O-lineman or blocker to push or aid the player with the ball to gain additional yardage? Watching the LSU game I noticed Blue(I think) aid(push in the back) Jennings on his TD rush. Just curious what the rules were for that.

TIA.

IIRC it is no longer a penalty with this season.

It was previously but rarely ever called. LSU is the only team I have ever seen penalized for that and it was 4-5 years ago?

"The Bush Push"

Don't believe it is a penalty anymore.

No foul for pushing; however, grabbing the runner and pulling or lifting him *IS* a foul

I believe it's Rule 9-3-2

Forgot to add the penalty portion if it is a foul: 5 yds
