I do not believe that this is an accurate statement. Riggs launched at the midsection of an airborne receiver. By the time that the hit occurred, gravity being what it is, the receiver was much lower than he was at the time that Riggs left his feet, causing the top of Riggs helmet to hit the bottom of the receiver's. As the rule is written, so be it. I think a welcome exception would be for hits that occur or were initiated while the target was airborne. It is a little tough to predict where the hit will take place when the receiver's feet are not on the ground. -Zeb -- -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GatorTalk" group.
