NCAA Rule Changes 5. – Locking legs by offensive linemen

Locking legs by offensive linemen

New rule: change to existing Rule 7-1-3-b-2, FR-97 of the 2009-10 rule book;

It is no longer illegal for offensive players on the line of scrimmage to lock legs.

Rationale: The committee finds no compelling reason to prohibit players from locking legs. It is not apparent that the offense gains any unfair advantage through this alignment.

NCAA Rule Changes 4. – Blocking Out of Bounds

Blocking Out of Bounds

New Rule:

It is illegal for any player to be clearly out of bounds when he initiates a block against an opponent who is out of bounds. The spot of the foul is where the blocker crosses the sideline in going out of bounds.

Penalty:

Personal Foul, 15 yards.  Automatic first down for fouls by Team B if not in conflict with other rules.

Rationale:

The current rules do not prohibit a player from going out of bounds to block an opponent.  A consistent spirit of the rules and a principle of players safety is that the game should be played between the lines.  While it may happen that a block initiated in bounds might continue as the players cross the sideline, no player should go out of bounds to block an opponent, just as the ball carrier may not be tackled out of bounds. This rule codifies the principle.
