This has been the biggest surprise to me about the b 10. After about 6 games I still have no idea what pi is in this conference. Apparently you can blow a guy up from behind. Come through his back and hit him early as long as he doesn’t catch it. But if you’re next to him or in front and you have any contact then it’s called. Sometimes. Depending on the zebras feelings. And spots for first downs are done with a ouija board
bc the running back has to carry the ball, so they only have one arm/hand to fend off defenders.
i dont totally agree with this grace that is conferred to ball carriers, as sometimes they can, like in this video clip, put the dender at serious risk of injury, but i've never seen it called.
as a related aside, there's only one time that a rb was called for unnecessary roughness. - warning this is real football. you riley ball cuppers might want to avert your eyes...

rbs have always been allowed to grab the face mask. that will never get called.
