You don’t have to grab or pull it, you can push it as well.
Pushing it isn't a penalty. You need to grab, pull, twist, etc. It looked like a penalty in real time, but the replay pretty clearly showed they got it right.

Dinkins has really impressed me with his blocking on the edge this season...he's a weapon when he gets 1v1 with a Safety (or corner obviously).

So what caused his head to get pulled all the way around, a ghost? And here’s the wording:

A facemask penalty in American football involves grasping and controlling, twisting, turning, pushing, or pulling an opponent's facemask.

Chaz Coleman nearly blocks the 'Nova punt, and the punt only goes to the 'Nova 32

PSU takes over with 0:15 left in the 1st qtr.

I mean, watch the replay...he got twisted around from the way the tackler pulled him. The tackler didn't use the facemask to twist him, he was under it.

And why use google for a generic definition when you could use the NCAA rule?

No player shall grasp and then twist, turn or pull the face mask, chin strap or any helmet opening of an opponent. It is not a foul if the face mask, chin strap or helmet opening is not grasped and then twisted, turned or pulled. When in question, it is a foul.

I wish they would feature the run game more. Maybe we see Kaytron now.

Is Kaytron hurt? Makes no sense to leave Singleton in there.

PSU with a 3rd & 5 at the 'Nova 27

'Nova calls TO.

Allar changes the play before the snap ... pass is incomplete

Ryan Barker in for a 45-yard FG attempt, and he curls it just inside the upright.

10-0, PSU, with 14:18 left in the 2nd qtr.

Have to take advantage of that type of field position and get more than 3

Thought that Pena needed to work back on that one...can't lead him much with the safety there.

So far this game has me feeling no better about OLine or Allar vs previous games.
Same. Somethings not clicking for Allar and the OL is not dominant. If Allar tries to force the ball in versus Oregon like he just did versus nova on 3rd it’s an INT. He should’ve flipped the ball out to the rb.
