    The NCAA needs to do something about the chop-blocking. It happened again tonight to Dorsey, again no penalty was called. The TV personalities kept saying it was legal, because he wasn't "Engaged" with another Lineman. That's cheap shot crap IMO, that needs to end immediately.

    The other lineman fell on Dorsey's knee while blocking another LSU lineman. No foul there at all and it is football.

    Chop blocks are bread and butter for offensive linemen... I coach my kids to chop as much as possible... slows the charge of the defense... And a good D-Line coach will show his d-linemen how to beat a chop... HOWEVER... the hits that we see in the NFL and college aren't old school chops (usually from the front, aiming at the shins), they are knee shots, from the side... I would never have a player do that..
