took that into account and I'm not sure how the rule reads. I just got the feeling it was a judgement thing and despite being blocked it looked like he was heading for the collision either way.

Kick-Catch Interference call - wasn't BYU guy blocked/pushed into USU returner?

Yes he was. It was a missed call. Should have at least reviewed it.

Don't believe that is reviewable

On TV it was the same idiots who did the SJSU game.

At least they figured out the whole "Tanner" thing

fulano

got hit but IMO he was going to get the penalty anyway.

MormonThug

He was going to run past him to the left of him.

Turnpike Lane

11/30/15 10:34am

That's what I saw too.

Eddie

11/30/15 10:35am

I think this is plausible.

Bob Vance

That's what it looked like to me, too. If Davis had been running to the

Wait - that was Davis?!?

Eddie

11/30/15 10:42am

Maybe so but it doesn't matter.

Walter Bellhaven

I think the rule is "not a penalty" in that situation.

CosmoK

11/30/15 10:54am

He was pushed, but I think he would have plowed right through the guy anyway.

rggee

11/30/15 10:32am

Agreed. If any real push would've taken place, it would've only pushed him AWAY

fulano

11/30/15 10:33am

Kind of how I saw it, but it also looked like he might have had a chance to race

Bob Vance

11/30/15 10:34am

Maybe so. If he had started to pull up it would have been obvious

fulano

11/30/15 10:35am

He wasn't trying to pull up. He didn't intend to pull up.

Eddie

11/30/15 10:40am

Maybe. If I'm a ref in that game I throw the flag there. Just my opinion

fulano

11/30/15 10:42am

While completely ignoring the illegal block in the back to make it happen?

Eddie

11/30/15 11:27am

he was pushed, but i think his intention was to steam roll him anyways

BlueFrog

11/30/15 10:33am

he'd still have hit him.

johnnycarson

11/30/15 10:34am

you're all wrong ^^^. This is Davis we're talking about

Beggar

11/30/15 10:36am

Davis was running out to the sidelines to get a drink, and just happen to run in

FWIW: The play is at about 2:02 in Cougazul's highlights:

IMO, the replay makes the case for "no penalty" more than for "penalty".

CosmoK

11/30/15 11:02am

To me it looks like he is lowering his shoulder ready to pummel the guy. He did

rggee

11/30/15 11:09am

You would have a better chance at convincing me...IF...and this is a big if...

Eddie

11/30/15 11:34am

While Davis is not a physical defender, he did have a hit like your describe

dilbert

11/30/15 11:54am

After looking at the replay, I think the "lowered shoulder" is a side effect of

Spine

11/30/15 11:51am

Looking frame by frame at the replay and he starts to his right of the return

Spine

11/30/15 11:44am

Davis doesn't go into the hit like a guy who wants to nail somebody.

His momentum would have carried him into the defender despite the block.

SpecialT

Yes

Wasn't it also a block in the back. Missed that too.

Count Cougar

Guy got pushed, in fairness Davis was at full speed and was gonna hit him early

gww687

11/30/15 3:30pm

You cant make a call based on what you think might have happened.

Count Cougar

11/30/15 3:58pm

Not exactly what I am trying to say

gww687

I think a lot of folks here are missing the fact that a field is not linear.
