Now I'm confused....fair catch rule.

Probably should have been a delay of game penalty actually.

It looked to me like he called poison - waving both arms in front of himself - rather than waving one arm above his head as would be done in a fair catch. You can catch the ball after calling poison, but cannot advance it. As such, I’d assume you cannot be tackled - I was surprised there was no flag.

this post applies to today.

Got it right this time.

Wow. Four years ago, I asked a question about this. Good memory you have on this fair catch situation.

The moment it happened today I jumped off the couch - “They’re gonna screw us again!”

Floored - and thankful - they got it right this time.

They got it right. Best part is Ferentz whining about it at his press conference. It's a rule he should know.

He waved his left arm in several circles - a definite gesture meant to mean something to his team mates. So it was a false fair catch signal, whether he realized it or not. I think.

Watching the Purdue Wisconsin game. Wisconsin player fields a kick on the bounce. Stands there. Whistle blows. Shouldn't they have tackled him? Whats the difference between our game and this situation?

The difference is the whistle blows in Wisconsin/ Purdue game.
