Thanks to this post, I am mad again about that non-call on targeting Texas committed against ASU

2FarGone No One of Consequence

9:57am

Wasn't there an ASU targeting against Texas earlier in the game? Not called.

BYU Fans need to cheer for the team that is coached by a former BYU QB

Demin needs better scoring options to complement his game

nova_coug_fan

9:46am

This is why Hall shouldn't be in lineups with him

Blueto

9:48am

Hall shooting 38% from the field and 34% from 3 isn't complementing Egor? Huh

ldssdl

9:50am

Hall needs the ball in his hands touch get those numbers. He's not a spot up

Blueto

9:54am

I agree Hall would be better off as the backup PG, but with shooting #s that bad

ldssdl

9:59am

Demin is 15/56 (27%) from the Ole Miss game and on. That's six games and the ones against any real opponent.

CSoul

10:05am

You're right. Egor has played very poorly and needs to get better, quickly.

ldssdl

10:09am

FTR, 38% from the field is a truly horrible number.

Last night he started getting position on the block. He's not done that previously but I like it as it gives him new

GfB

We have to surround him with shooting. Mag, Hall, Fous or Keita can’t. We can’t

Stucoug83

9:58am

I like Joe Klatt's take on targeting.

VenomFarmer

9:43am

No to fines, no to penalty boxes. 15 yards is sufficient

Indy Coug

9:44am

Agreed. Even in instances of actual targeting it rarely seems malicious

reddead

9:48am

The refs can't even get the call right half the time, so even less reason to eject the player

Indy Coug

9:49am

if you can't get the call right, maybe they should get rid of it altogether

2FarGone

9:51am

The targeting penalty has caused malicious hits to the head to dissappear.

VenomFarmer

9:54am

Fair, but it seems like penalties for roughing the passer and blindside blocks

reddead

9:59am

And your reasoning?

VenomFarmer

9:50am

My reasoning is that the foul doesn't merit that kind of reaction

Indy Coug

9:52am

I think it's a bit more than virtue signaling - the NCAA needs to show it's serious about

Skeptical Optimist

9:55am

RE: My reasoning is that the foul doesn't merit that kind of reaction

VenomFarmer

9:59am

I think 15 yards is sufficient in most cases, but the refs should have discretion to eject a player

Skeptical Optimist

9:53am

It's a personal foul and just like every personal foul, the first offense should be a 15 yard penalty...

Coug

9:54am

The ejection is for multiple unsportsmanlike personal fouls, not late hits or illegal hits

Indy Coug

9:56am

Intentionally using your head in an tackle should be viewed as unsportsmanlike

Coug

10:04am

Do you give refs special headgear to divine intent?

Indy Coug

10:05am

I love the penalty box idea.

2FarGone

9:48am

Seemed impossible for ASU to commit holding after Texas jumped on them early

You can't fix targeting until you fix football's fundamentals.

Trey Stewart should get all of Dawson Baker’s minutes and a decent chunk of Dallin Hall’s.

scootsy Truly Addicted User

9:34am

You must not be watching the same game as the rest of us. Trey is a liability

kansascougar

9:37am

He can’t be any worse than Baker & Hall, who over the last two games are shooting a combined 36% with 2 assist and 9 TOs

scootsy

9:42am

Only a braindead person would use such a small sample size.

kansascougar

9:53am

We’ve only played like four real games this year.

scootsy

Of course he can, which is why they play over him.
