Moving them forward two yards provides more space for angles around the three man protection. You will have issues where one guy has to chose between two to block, etc. And there is literally a rule that supposed to be called when someone jumps over the wall like what happened.

It looked illegal in real time. The SC folks on their whiner board are trying to say he just jumped up and we flipped him or some shite. It was a great effort, but obviously leaping and leveraging.

I've played and watched a lot of sports in my life. Never seen anyone running full speed in a direction suddenly jump straight up with little or no forward momentum without first breaking down some, which he didn't do. He was full bore at the wall.

Not that they would have listened, they absolutely thought they were screwed by the refs, we got every call, and we cheated our way to a win.

This, we were there and left after the last LSU TD because it was getting pretty hostile around us. Fans screaming at us that the refs gave the game away, and that LSU paid them off, etc. They didn't want to hear about the no calls on the punt, and the no call "disconcerting signals" on the botched snap that led to a drive in the red zone. Thank God that one only led to 3 points.
That said, the 1st pick 6 was a legitimate call and should have been called back (USCe fans even admitted as much, but we stilled passed about it). The 2nd one was borderline and we got lucky. Tough position, but when you make that hit you take that chance. All in all the USCe fans were great until the 4th quarter...then they turned.

It will apparently take a couple of days for the Negatigers to absorb our victory

The block was about 3 feet off the ground behind the gap between the right and center blockers. He gained ZERO HEIGHT on the play.

He has a horizontal dive over the pad level of Borderlon and Jones, so he is higher than three feet off the ground. He lands in a potentially very dangerous postion for him, which is the reason for the rule.

I still don't know if it is legal or illegal, but if it is legal, I think the only reason why is that he leaps or dives in the shoulder width gap between the heads of the Bordelon and Jones.

It doesn't really matter from a fairness standpoint anymore, but would like to know from a how to execute the block.

Looks like Roy released without touching anyone, and there was a stunt behind the rusher that blocked the punt and he came untouched, wonder how that was supposed to be blocked, would like to know the answer what our plan was in that instance.

Doesn’t the rule define it as being over space that they occupy? A gap would be where you weren’t over anyone. He was over both of them.

I have trouble finding an interpretation where this was legal play.
