There's been debate on here whether there was an uncalled facemask penalty -pics

I don't see in any of these photos where the guy ever grabbed the face mask, ear hole, or under the helmet. Just because the guy's hand is on the helmet doesn't mean he's grabbing it. To be a penalty it must be grabbed.
I've heard many say that on the BYUtv broadcast it's a clear penalty but I haven't seen those angles (I saw it live and on ESPN) - these pics look like the defender is around the helmet but never grabbing it.

And just because an arm extended, doesn't mean a guy pushed off...

The play happened right in front of us. He absolutely grabbed the helmet.

That is a little odd twist and tucking of the head by Taysom to do...

if he isn't grabbing his helmet, then why would his heas turn like that?

I am with you. His hand was on the front shoulder pad/neck area.

He started on the shoulder pad but ended up grabbing the helmet

Looks like his hand is open in those last pictures.

There are 2 where his fingers are on the under side of the helmet

Sorry bro, just like last night you are still wrong.

It's like some people are so worried about people thinking they are complaining
