Tech got called for one cut block "downfield" on a play. Apparently they are now illegal after 3 yards from the LOS, or something like that.
Yes, it's legal football, but I view it as prone to causing injuries, and I hate seeing our defense playing against it.
Tech had a guy on a kick off clearly launch himself and cause helmet to helmet contact with a guy on coverage, it was the clearest case of that I've seen, he left his feet. They reviewed it and found it not to be a foul. Our guy was down. Not a cut block of course, but that rule is bizarrely enforced. Then the Tech player was jumping up and down on the sideline in celebration after it was ruled no foul for about a minute exhorting his team. I think the score was 31-7, and our kickoffs usually go for TB anyway, as did this one. There was zero reason for that other than to injure a player, which he did.
IMHO, Tech DOES play dirty, intentionally, they can't compete, so they try and hurt defenders however they can.
I would stop scheduling them forever were I the HMFIC.
I hope Minny stomps them good. With the weeks of prep time, they should be able to defeat their gimmicky offense.
