I know everyone loves the NCAA rules videos!!!

Or just me…

Anyway the Gophers Vs Rutgers game made it in this weeks video:

Seems like the refs properly applied the rule. I'm not sure I agree with the rule itself because the tackle in each of these examples wouldn't have been made without grabbing the collar, but I guess since the rule is a safety precaution as much as anything I can make sense of it.

I watch this channel every week. I like it when the Gophers are featured, but love how rules are explained. Wish more fans would subscribe.

Correct. It has nothing to do with the defensive player gaining an advantage. Horse collar tackles have ended offensive players careers. The most notable case was Gerald Wilhite after a horse collar tackle by Joey Browner on MNF.
