[QUOTE="ChicagoIllini, post: 1327554, member: 57400"] I was actually curious about this so I looked it up in the NCAA rule book yesterday (I know, I should have better things to do :)). Article 16(a) of the rules lists the rule of roughing or running into the kicker or holder. Here is the section: [SIZE="1"][I]Roughing or Running Into Kicker or Holder ARTICLE 16. a. When it is obvious that a scrimmage kick will be made, no opponent shall run into or rough the kicker or the holder of a place kick (A.R. 9-1-16-I, III and VI). 1. Roughing is a live-ball personal foul that endangers the kicker or holder. 2. Running into the kicker or holder is a live-ball foul that occurs when the kicker or holder is displaced from his kicking or holding position but is not roughed (A.R. 9-1-16-II). 3. Incidental contact with a kicker or holder is not a foul. 4. The kicker’s protection under this rule ends (a)when he has had a reasonable time to regain his balance(A.R. 9-1-16-IV); or (b)when he carries the ball outside the tackle box (Rule 2-34) before kicking. 5. When a defensive player’s contact against the kicker or holder is caused by an opponent’s block (legal or illegal), there is no foul for running into or roughing. 6. A player who makes contact with the kicker or holder after touching the kick is not charged with running into or roughing the kicker. [B]7. When a player [U]other than one who blocks a scrimmage kick[/U] runs into or roughs the kicker or holder, it is a foul.[/B] 8. When in question whether the foul is running into or roughing, the foul is roughing. b. A kicker or holder simulating being roughed or run into by a defensive player commits an unsportsmanlike act (A.R. 9-1-16-V).Roughing or Running Into Kicker or Holder ARTICLE 16. a. When it is obvious that a scrimmage kick will be made, no opponent shall run into or rough the kicker or the holder of a place kick (A.R. 9-1-16-I, III and VI). 1. Roughing is a live-ball personal foul that endangers the kicker or holder. 2. Running into the kicker or holder is a live-ball foul that occurs when the kicker or holder is displaced from his kicking or holding position but is not roughed (A.R. 9-1-16-II). 3. Incidental contact with a kicker or holder is not a foul. 4. The kicker’s protection under this rule ends (a)when he has had a reasonable time to regain his balance(A.R. 9-1-16-IV); or (b)when he carries the ball outside the tackle box (Rule 2-34) before kicking. 5.

When in question whether the foul is running into or roughing, the foul is roughing. b. A kicker or holder simulating being roughed or run into by a defensive player commits an unsportsmanlike act (A.R. 9-1-16-V).[/I][/SIZE] See #7 above. Since the player that ran into the kicker was not the one that blocked the kick, a penalty could have been called per the rules. I checked and it has actually been called that way before (see here: [URL="http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/marshall-western-kentucky-roughing-running-kicker-foul-rule-thundering-herd-mike-pereira-112814"]http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/marshall-western-kentucky-roughing-running-kicker-foul-rule-thundering-herd-mike-pereira-112814[/URL]).So I think we did catch a break with the no call (about time Illini football got a break IMO)!
