OT: tush push rule

[FanatiCat]

I believe the “Bush push/tush push” was not legal until recently in college. Regardless, I’ve decided I don’t like it for multiple reasons. It’s such a huge disadvantage to the D line that the O can just bring a TE and Fullback to push the guy a half yard. But I’ve noticed the refs hold their whistles way longer even past the normal stoppage of forward motion. If you give it long enough, of course the O can have guys come behind the ball carrier and just keep adding to the push, they just have to hold the ball carrier upright long enough to get reinforcements. The Purdue goal line TD against us is just one example but it’s everywhere. It surely also increases the risk of injury, so with all the rule changes against it I’m surprised at this one.
