Wazzu 21-7 now on QB run with a little push from his teammates, not called. Almost half time.

This is one of my stupid little pet peeves.  It never, EVER gets called.

The announcers today were ranting about that not being called. But it's never called and might as well be dropped from the rule book. When I was a kid back in the 60's I had a book called "Football Rules in Pictures," with drawings of violations and the referees' signals for them. The signal for "pushing, crawling, or helping the runner" caught my eye and I was on the lookout for it.  I'm still waiting to see it called after almost 50 years of watching football.
