Count of Monte Cristo episode 3 changes from the book with spoilers:

What platform is this on?

Sparkling Delirium

8:51am

So lawsuits against bad referee calls?

AF Cougar

Utah A.D. helping them with the lawsuit?

8:45am

Since pummeling BYU, Providence is 1-4

CPAcoug87

8:45am

Seemed like a bewitched game for sure

Hammurabi

8:46am

It was a scheduled loss and the injury to Egor didn't help

BYU Fan

8:49am

They were hitting contested 3's all night and our offense was abysmal.

LegitCoug

8:49am

That was the most Boylenesque game I've ever seen.

2ndTrombone

8:49am

I dont think the loss will hurt BYU at all. Just keep winning in Big 12 play

WJCougar

8:50am

CB 2025 resolutions? 1) enjoy bball season and FB offseason (after amazing year)

Hammurabi

8:44am

Puka should have been selected over Nico Collins

Unibro Utah fans are sensitive

8:44am

There's like maybe two receivers in that draft taken before Nacua that you're not grimacing about right now.

P-Boy Squad

8:48am

I was talking pro bowl 2025

Unibro

8:50am

I dunno. A one loss Oregon that beat Ohio State once with a good loss to them?

byujdmba

8:42am

Eye test confirms it!

Hammurabi

8:45am

This is unusual: I find myself already charged up for the 2025 season!

BlueFever

8:41am

Can't imagine what ticket prices will be

All-around BYU

8:41am

Yep, best offseason in a loooooong time

Hammurabi

8:47am

So not only do teams win a playoff game...they get a bowl trophy too.

WJCougar

8:35am

I thought the same thing seeing the bowls act like their game is still producing

It’s very odd. Like Penn St could be the Fiesta Bowl and Orange Bowl champs

BYU FOOTBALL MINI-MOVIE PART 3

HimmerFredette

8:32am

There were two potential targeting calls in the 4th quarter of the ASU game, one by each team. On the ASU INT, there is

Spiff SequelTrilogyFan

8:19am

It would have negated the interception.

TN_Coug

8:32am

Terry McAulay says likely still ASU INT

squirrelyearl

8:33am

"at the same time" means bang-bang play and would have negated it.

TN_Coug

8:35am

"or slightly before"

Spiff

8:42am

I think the refs made the right call...it was not targeting.

WJCougar

8:36am

I thought that could have been called targeting as well, which just proves to me

NOCAL_YFAN

8:36am

If that hit in the Texas-Arizona State game was not targeting, what is?

BYUFootballRocks1 All-American

8:19am

It has to be forcible contact. Not "any contact".

Skeptical Optimist

8:26am

Everybody knows knocking a guy nearly unconscious isn't forcible contact

Goliath

8:27am

So the player running into the contact isn’t “forcible”?

Yukon

8:28am

Every tackle has forcible contact. In order for it to be a foul it has to be forcible contact

Skeptical Optimist

8:31am

If after a nights sleep Skep. O. still has this take, it’s not worth debating it

Crowd Factor

8:31am

Ok, then don't debate it.

Skeptical Optimist

8:33am

He's head snapping back isn't "forcible"?

byubyu

8:29am

It WAS forcible contact, he sprinted for 10 yards and slammed into the receiver...

BYUFootballRocks1

8:30am

Did the defender “lead” with the helmet to create the forcible contact though.

cougaman

8:32am

well the 4th possible indicator is "initiating forcible contact with the crown

cwilke1

8:37am

The “lead” part is what I was focusing on though. He’s making a form tackle

cougaman

8:43am

its plausible to interpret it the way you are, but our body of actual referee

cwilke1

8:48am

"lead" with the helmet? He met him face-to-face with his helmet -

BYUFootballRocks1

8:41am

That’s not close to what I said and you clearly don’t want to try to understand

cougaman

8:45am

Head to head was the first contact.

SoCalCoug

8:46am

He’s trying to wrap him up and use his arms to make the tackle though, his head

cougaman

8:50am

Sprinting 10 yards and slamming into the receiver isn't a foul - that happens on just about every

Skeptical Optimist

8:37am

baloney-he hit him in the head! wondering if just you're trying to be contrary -

BYUFootballRocks1

8:42am

he slams him in the face with his helmet at top speed and it's not targeting? got it...

BYUFootballRocks1

8:44am

playing word games is not the proper answer

Count Cougar

8:31am

The verbatim text of the rule isn't a word game. The OP was wrong when he said that any contact

Skeptical Optimist

8:35am

It knocked him completely off his feet.

SoCalCoug

8:45am

When the refs pick up a flag like that after review

Goliath

8:29am

I don’t think they threw a flag

cougaman

8:32am

I don’t think they threw a flag

Beggar

8:33am

Not only did they NOT throw a flag, the review was initiated by the “booth”

Endocoug

8:41am

Im no expert but it seems like they’ve changed

I'mBatman

8:41am

I didn't think it was targeting because the crown of the helmet wasn't used

Coug

8:45am

4th and 13 will haunt ASU for a long time. Can’t believe that DB allowed the WR

Iman23

8:13am

Yep. And he was wide open. The ball was a bit underthrown so if he's even a

LifeLongLakerFan

8:16am

He bit on the outside move and when the receiver broke inside it was all over

Indy Coug

8:16am

It was the call by the DC. They brought 7 or 8, and they didn't get home. And because they didn't disguise it Ewers..

Adrielle

8:19am

I would just run a 4 man sim pressure inside and bring the boundary corner.

Adwight

8:24am

They walked 7 up to the line but only brought 5. The safety bit on a fake move

kansascougar

8:32am

They also were way too obvious with the blitz and Texas picked it up easily

The second it was call you could tell the secondary was off

HUGE props to Tyler Batty for staying for 2024. Without his return

VegasCoug

Amazing they both came back when BYU failed to live up to their NIL promises

Where's the evidence BYU didn't live up to NIL promises?

VegasCoug

Batty on defense and Pay on offense were big parts of the glue that held this team together this year

BYUMizzou

Amen, add Pay on O for sure.

Was he considering transferring?

According the way I've seen the rule called for a couple of seasons now, it was

Ghost of Peanut

7:49am

By the rule it was 100% targeting. What I don’t think it was is intentional

ordinary tri guy

7:55am

It was. Went from 1st down near FG range to 4th and 5 and having to punt

jrifkin48

7:55am

More than likely all we would have watched was ASU badly missing a FG given

Powerbait DPM

By role is a subjective call, so it depends on who is interpreting it, which is

I honestly have no idea what targeting is or isn't anymore. There is no

I like your last sentence. If you can’t explain why it’s not targeting, it’s

Powerbait DPM

8:24am

"When in question, it is a foul" is key here. It means that the refs didn't have a question

Skeptical Optimist

8:24am

Yeah, I think by the rule it was targeting.

Yukon

8:26am

Agree on the offensive player adjusting to basically "draw" the penalty.

Narfin'Coug

8:32am

I saw 4-5 worse that Utah had this year go uncalled.

Very Catholic but likely not the reason it was attacked

Sure, they do Mardi Gras and there are lots of Catholics there, but it seems more of a party town than a religious town.

byujacob INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

Big12Yfan

I'd probably place the over/under right around 8 or 8.5 wins next year.

They would've had first down (not have to punt) and close to FG range with 1 min
