Watching a ton of football today.

Isn't it illegal for an offensive lineman to push the runner to get the first down or touchdown.

I see this all the time in college and pro ball and it is never called. The officials just give the touchdown or first down.

Its legal now in cfb at least. PRetty shitty that if he gets pushed backwards, the offensive player gets forward progress, but now offensive can gain extra yards
