[Husker] Finally watched

[Tony Lambert]

I talked to a guy that is a high school ref today, And he said that his crew 
uses the center as a guide, And that the tackle has to have his head at the 
mid point of the center's body just above the waist around the rib cage 
area. That is what he told me FWIW.

If you watched the Steelers game last night, there were many occasions
when the rest of the OL was a good 2-3 feet behind the center.

NFL officiating standards and college officiating standards aren't quite
the same, obviously.

I know that in the NFL the linesman puts his hand out to indicate whether
or not the OL players are on the line, I don't know if they do the same
thing in college officiating.

I don't think we have any current/former college officials on the list
at the moment to give us a definitive answer.

It could take a half hour of reading through the rulebook to figure out
whether players in the backfield can come out of a 3 point stance.  (I
have always had the utmost admiration for coaches like Osborne who study
the rulebook to look for nuances that they can build plays around.)
