LOL--Nice try. But he didn't "pull up", as he ran in he "squared up" for the hit and was knocked on his ass by a man who was walking, not running. The official on top of the play called nothing. An official 20 yards in back of the play made the call. The call actually was made not at the moment of the hit, but when the FL player put out his hand for the Ark. player to help him up, the Ark. player didn't want to help him up and pulled his own hand away. That's when you see the flag come in. Watch it again and you'll see what I mean. If the FL player had pulled up, no contact would've been made, because all the Ark. player did was turn his shoulder toward the FL player to meet him as he ran in, and when contact was made, the Ark. player hit him the way every fb player is trained to do.
Hard to believe that you are still ranting about this, but here goes. The UF guy was pulling up. Had the UAR guy pulled up they both would have still hit but not a forceful hit. This often happens in football games after the whistle blows.
That is the ony reason the UF guy ended up on his butt is that he was not following through on his hit. Now I do not believe the UAR guy should have let up, I believe in a hitting sport like football you must play expecting to be hit all the time on every play. But the rules committee has asked the officials to clean up this kind of hit.
My understanding is they went through this on Gameday on ESPN and made the same criticism I made in my posts on this thread. Basically that the officials have been asked to clean up this kind of hit and now they suspend them in small part because of this kind of hit.
Now if all this is beyond your ken, ok. Just raise your pom-poms and go whoooooo pig soooooie. But dont pretend you understand the game and the rules.
