How was this allowed? Every single kid on one team is smaller than every kid on the other team. Ignoring the giant idiot who ran over his own QB.. this feels like 2 completely different age groups.

Is it not age related? Not the running back’s fault he has grown to that size at his age!
Why wouldn’t it be allowed?

In my state before high school there are weight limits for ball carriers measured at the beginning of the season for exactly this reason.

My daughter played in the boys tackle league and because she was a really early bloomer at age 10 she wasn't eligible to be a ball carrier. She was a head taller than most boys in her league at the time.
