He lowers his head, and although he turns his head slightly and there is shoulder contact, there is also helmet to helmet contact with the crown of the helmet.

I've seen targeting called for a lot less than that.

I didn't watch. Why was it ridiculous? If there was a second left

ASU was at about the 3 yard line first and goal and took four straight knees

Smu could have Calle da timeout in our game and had like 10-15 seconds after

We got the ball with 1:25 left and they had 1 timeout.

Yes we did but we didn't. We took the last knee with about 16 seconds left

Horrible take. Tremendous respect to take a knee with the lead.

There was one second when he snapped the ball

That's what I thought. I remember seeing the QB not drop to a knee, but run

Actually, there were 2 seconds on the clock when he snapped the ball.

There were two seconds but if you watch the play clock, too, you see the game

The Officials can't do anything about the game clock starting late.

I never said they could. But that's why Kenny's mad.

Sportsmanship? ASU had the ball first & goal and took 4 straight knees

How does a reversed call, after a review, become your "worst call of the night"?

Did you see it? We were all shocked that they reversed it. It was textbook

I was there in person. The hit was side of helmet and shoulder.

And officials looked at that video and maybe more and disagreed with you enough

For stealing Marshawn Lynch's line?

Same here, I watched the game but turned it off after that knee

It was unfortunately, the right call. I think ASU did everything right here,

The clock did not start at the snap, so that should have been considered. 2 sec

at least 7 little steps, but on my stopwatch was 1.84 seconds before the knee.

Thanks. I should have noticed the game clock started late.

I just went back to the original broadcast and snap to knee down was 2.26 second

We don't know if the game clock started late, but if there were 2 full seconds..

It took 2.26 seconds. Game would be over if clock started on time

BYUCLA

Sep 13, 12:09pm

I just measured a few more times and all my times clocked in btwn 2.01 and 2.26

The fact that in 2024 college football only uses full seconds is pretty silly.

This is where a more precise NBA-style clock under 2 minutes makes sense
