Law was my favorite player signed in that class and is going to be my favorite player for the next few years. He carries himself with swagger all the time.

Is there full video from the scrimmage available?

And with that new rule, Bullock would have to come out of the game.
Remind me why that's a good rule?

That's what I was reminded of too, that rule could be a real game changer.

I am not a big fan of a number of changes to NFL and CFB rules regarding protecting players, but I don't have a big problem with this one. It's well documented where players have been negligent in strapping on their lids properly and this will alleviate some of that because they aren't going to want to come out of the game.
I don't know that it's fair that anytime a helmet comes off they have to come out, but in this particular case the player you're questioning received multiple hits to the head while unprotected it appears (quality of that is questionable), so I think with the climate of the issue and NFL lawsuits they are kind of forced to error on the side of caution.

I believe the rule as stated doesn't require them to leave the game on facemask and similar penalties. Just in situations where the helmet pops off due to contact.

Wonder if you'll see an increase in facemask and hands to the face penalties. Especially along the offensive line.

I couldn't find the actual rule as it was published, but here is an NCAA article describing the nature of the change: Playing Rules Oversight Panel approves rules changes in football, other sports - NCAA.org
I was also deeply concerned about the change to women's bowling uniforms.

Would have been better if he made the actual tackle though. Bullock absorbed it and kept his feet moving. Luckily there were other Hawks there to bring him down.
Nico brings the thunder, but I hope he learns to wrap up and not go for the knock out punch every time. Bob Sanders could, but his opponents went down when they were hit by him.
Sash was similar as well in that he'd try for the big hit and a lot of times would just bounce off of the ball carrier.

Re: Nico Law�s helmet removing hit
it won't. illegal hands to the face penalties are drive killers.

Re: Nico Law�s helmet removing hit
law will be fun to watch with the way he attacks. yet i feel like our dbs all need to work on wrapping. i had little to complain about prater but he didnt wrap well. i feel like a lot of iowa dbs have tried to be the second coming of bob sanders and we sometimes miss tackles because of it.

I take issue with this because Prater clearly had issues last year. There was a running thread about him last year explaining the many missed tackles and coverages he had and it wasn't a rare thing to see. I'm glad we've moved on and I'm excited to see Law back there.
