Yeah, we've began using an illegal wedge for KO returns. Burns has the same skills he did 2 years ago.
Saw a WVU fan complain about this and was curious to what the rule is. Definitely got away with a 3-man wedge against WVU. Watched the other ones and did not see a clear 3 man wedge, a lot of two man wedges. I am a bit biased when it comes to Burns, great guy, hard worker and it is awesome to have seen him make k-state history as well as lead the FBS in KO touchdowns and yards.
Illegal Wedge Formation
ARTICLE 10. a. A wedge is defined as two or more players aligned shoulder to
shoulder within two yards of each other.
b. Free-kick down only: After the ball has been kicked, it is illegal for three or
more members of the receiving team intentionally to form a wedge for the
purpose of blocking for the ball carrier. This is a live-ball foul, whether or
not there is contact between opponents.
PENALTY—Noncontact foul. 15 yards, spot of the foul, or 15 yards, spot
where the subsequent dead ball belongs to Team B if this is
behind the spot of the foul. 15 yards, previous spot with the
down repeate
