Should we have sued in the Arizona State loss that kept us from the playoff?

They should file a lawsuit against their 4th and 13 defense and the Leavitts

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

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

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

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

I was at that game. Providence had been on the road and lost 3 in a row at a tourney. They were mad, and it was clear

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 saw that, but he wrote both things. If watching it back he's still not sure if its same-time or slightly before it

TN_Coug

8:54am

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

Maybe I am not remembering correctly but I recall

BYU Fan

8:53am

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

I’ve seen plays that I thought were worse go uncalled plenty, where it seemed

cougaman

8:51am

"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

"crown of the helmet" isn't a thing on a defenseless player.

Ghost of Peanut

9:00am

It is one of the four “things”

Endocoug

9:03am

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

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

7:49am

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

ordinary tri guy

7:55am

Intent has never been part of equation. Remember our guy getting tossed in Utah game a couple yrs ago? Who was that?

Soupie

8:56am

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

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.
