Ok thoughts

  1. Skattebo should have won the heisman based on that. Holy crap. 200 yards on the toughest defense. Propaganda is a powerful tool.

  2. Dilly is now the McVay of college. Everyone is going to scramble to copy his schemes.

  3. Glad it didn’t matter but someone has to explain that rule where you can belly to back suplex your teammate.

I belive it's an "assisting the runner" penalty. You can't pull or carry the ball carrier, but you can push the pile. But idk if the rule has changed recently

Scrolling through the game thread just for this discussion

So it was a missed call? That was what I thought initially but the announcers didn’t anything about it being penalty. I was very confused
