Bump and Run

[jsquigg]

The difference between college and pro is that in college, you can bump a receiver as long as the ball isn't in the air. There is no yardage rule in college. In the NFL, you can't breathe on anyone past five yards. I like the college rules much better as a general rule in every way. The NFL has changed its rules to compensate for unimaginative anemic offenses.

"In college and pros the defender may make contact with receiver within the first five yards of the line of scrimmage. Anything after that is penalized as illegal contact. Pass interference is called if the defensive player contacts the offensive player while he is trying to catch the pass. Inadvertent contact, though, is not penalized.


In high school the defender may make contact with the receiver as long as the ball has not left the hands of the quarterback."

I'm guessing Baylor's corners have terrible ratings for press coverage then. That defense needs an overhaul imo.
