This is the problem. I saw a recent poll on CB and almost no one thought that Clemson was a blue blood.

This is the correct summation of targeting

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

12:13pm

Yeah, because intent is so easy to decipher. 🙄 It’s why the indicators exist.

dtownCoug

12:14pm

So easy to define and quantify unnatural, as well as judge intent.

The issue with targeting is it has been applied very liberally time after time

TCU has ancient blue blood history, success under Patterson, and recent CFP win.

It seems that 400 and 500 yard passing games are more and more rare. I thought

Part of it has been the clock rules initiated the last decade or so shortening

Trading in fewer plays for more commercials.

benny1982

11:51am

Seems especially true in pros. 300 passing yards is a rarity

The Pope

11:49am

Defenses have just gotten so much better. Rarely do you see recievers wide open and that was commonplace in the 90s

Crazy Joe Davola

11:50am

True. Defenses have really adapted, especially going clear back to the Detmer years and beyond.

IdahoCoug

11:50am

I'd love to see the stats. My guess is that it has more to do with BYU playing a stronger schedule so our numbers are

According to Grok - In the 80s the average passing yards per game was 204. From 2020 to 2023 it's 222.

How much saved per year? What was your initial outlay?

rcbyufan

I.E. location dependent. Do you get lots of sun and is electricity expensive?

rcbyufan

So less of a slam dunk in Utah? My Utah County electrician bill averages $60

Florwood

11:57am

I would have installed solar by now but every sales guy wants to charge 9000% mark up to maximize their commission. So

WDaddy

11:50am

Yep. I do calculations every couple years and it never makes sense financially

kotacoug

12:08pm

Paid $10k after rebates and saving about $120/month on average.

PROBcoug

So, you save $1400/yr while $10k could have returned $1k/yr that compounds.

11:41am

Isn't the 6 inch radius crown rule only for defensable players (i.e. ball carriers)?

Crazy Joe Davola

11:42am

It’s for all players, defenseless or defensable. It does require an indicator though.

PJMort

11:46am

I disagree. I feel like the defender just ran through the receiver.

HTCougar

11:43am

Head initiated contact to the head.

IGlowInTheDark

Led with helmet to defenseless player (not crown) head/neck. That's targeting.
