In the 2009-10 edition of the NCAA Football Rulebook, Rule 9 covers “Conduct of Players and Others Subject to the Rules.” Section 3 covers “Blocking, Use of Hands or Arms” and Section 4 is directed at defensive players. Section 3, Article 4 of Rule 9 states that a “defensive player may use hands and arms to push, pull, ward off or lift offensive players when attempting to reach the runner.” But they may not use hands and arms to tackle, hold or otherwise illegally obstruct an opponent other than a ball carrier. This is, by definition, defensive holding and carries a 10-yard penalty that is awarded to the offense as well as an automatic first down.
"That Black Guy" is the title of a new bio-pic "Three Blind Mice" , the story of a blind golfer, a blind secret service agent and a blind P12 referree who overcome together the male patriarchy and evil pronoun usage by white males. Directed by Oprah Winfrey, it will be a cross between "the Longest Yard" and Eastwood's "Line of Fire". Spoiler Alert--the P12 Ref and Secret Service guy will save President Michelle Obama from a NAZI assassin, who resembles Donald Trump, on a golf course through the clever use of pitching wedgen when the blind queer golfer is struck down by the Trump look alike's usage of he and him instead of Xe or them..
Big mistake...gives even more an advantage to the ref's controlling the outcome of a game IMHO...and just another way to defang a defense which the NCAA has done with a number of rule changes...in the PAC this will make it even closer to flag footall then it already is...pun intended
In college football defensive holding is an automatic first down on passing plays but not on running plays .
this rule changes nothing for receivers. sc
I don't get it. Defensive holding was a 5 yard penalty and was always an automatic 1st down?
This sucks.. it’ll turn into basketball….refs determining the games.
Teams will throw bombs on 3rd and ling hoping to get bailed out.
Shitty rule
More games won on a final drive with time running out.
PAC 12 refs are fully engorged at this news. That black guy with the broken finger just knocked a vase off a table with no hands.
Not good ... the Brady/Pats thrived off this crappy rule for years. Imagine at ND.
