HS football rule changes for '17 announced

[FredFan7]

Making things safer by eliminating blindside blocks...unless with open hands.

Basically, the "blow up" block from the blind side is now illegal.

Thoughts?

I think that they are good, had to see them all with only 5 guys though...

I think the popup kick elimination is an odd one. Wonder where that one came from?

I like losing the face guard penalty for PI.
