Football rules analyst. I don’t have a team. Nor do I care about your team or the teams they play.

It’s always interesting to go back and see what actions start a sequence like this. In the video on the left, it appears OSU #75 drives Mich #0 to the ground well after the play, which would be a personal foul. The video on the right shows us what really happened. Mich #0 grabs #75 by the face mask and pulls him down. To make matters worse, Mich #6 then shoves #75 down. What should have happened here, in addition to an ejection, Mich #0 should have been penalized for the face mask and Mich #6 should have been penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct for the late shove down. Each would be enforced separately half the distance to the goal.

Here's the all-22 from an interesting play from last night. Seems the receiver veers directly into the path of the defender, who is tracking the pass in flight, which causes the defender to put his hands out in response. Looks awfully incidental to me. Especially considering that contact in no way significantly hinders the receiver.

I can't think of any reasonable explanation for Replay to not create targeting here. It's clearly and obviously a targeting foul. 1. Defenseless player 2. Attacks and leads with the helmet 3. Makes forcible contact with the helmet to head/neck

No excuse for two officials not to throw a flag for this personal foul.

This will likely end up being one of the most bizarre replay reversals this year. The runner is correctly ruled short of the goal line (albeit shorter than it should have been). Replay reversed to touchdown. He has the ball in his left arm and touches the pylon with this right hand. The ball becomes dead at the point and the foremost point of the ball is the dead ball spot. That spot is clearly behind the hand that touches the pylon. It's impossible for the ball to have broken the plane at that point. The Referee's announcement is equally bizarre. The ball never came close to touching the pylon.

December 12, 1998. Denver/Miami MNF. My first year in the NFL (I was not on this crew). Then VP of Officiating, Jerry Seeman, said this play was, by rule, correctly officiated.

Here are two angles not shown on the broadcast. Neither are indisputable, but on the first angle, a case can be made that the hand came off the ball which is a loss of control and makes it incomplete. Regardless, Replay should have stopped for review.

Absurd Replay ruling that this isn't a targeting foul. Of course it is: 1. Defenseless player 2. Attacks and leads with the helmet 3. Makes forcible contact with helmet to head/neck
