General question...


Sep 4, 2013, 7:42 AM

Why wasn't the Georgia player flagged for a horse collar on Sammy after his touchdown?

Does it not apply after someone scores? I thought it was a safety issue no matter what.

If I remember correctly, he grabbed the Jersey and not the shoulder pads. I don't believe it's illegal to grab the Jersey but I think it should be.

That wasn't a horse collar, imo.

I don't think the pads have that much 'give.'

Horse-Collar" Tackle (Rule 9-1-2-p). With this new rule, the committee addresses the potential hazard to a ball carrier that is grabbed by the inside collar of the jersey or shoulder pad and quickly jerked down. The rule prohibits all players from grabbing the inside back collar of the shoulder pads or jersey, or the inside collar of the side of the shoulder pads or jersey, and immediately pulling the runner down. This does not apply to a runner who is inside the tackle box or to a quarterback who is in the pocket. A key element is the immediacy of the runner being pulled down, because of the risk of injury. The horse-collar tackle is a personal foul and the penalty is 15 yards.

Following the lead of the NFL and acting on a proposal made by its Football Rules Committee, the NCAA will assess a penalty this season when a runner is yanked to the ground from the inside collar of his shoulder pads or jersey.

It's illegal to bring a player down by the jersey

But he has to be yanked down quickly not ridden for several yards. I thought they should have called it Saturday.
