Yep, if his arms only went up he wouldn't have been ejected.

However, he made sure contact was made and then pushed. I don't believe Atiki was trying to hurt the other guy, just get him to back off.

It was a definite forearm shiver

The Nick Emery school of self defense

Str8CashCougar

Yeah, pretty much

not self defense. Call was correct. glad it didn't cost us the win.

But incorrect not to give a technical to the other player.

actually kudos to that guy for triggering Atiki and getting him to react.

SD player should have fouled out long before this play, that is on the refs.

this group of officials that cover the western US are awful...

Maybe Fowler can explain it to you.

He extended his arm into the other kids head.

From what I saw Atiki ran towards the other player and shoved him in the face.

He deserved to be tossed. The issue was the USD player got away with instigating

He gave him good forearm shiver to throat. But I was fine with it.

He made a freshman mistake. Fortunately he'll learn from it & BYU still won

If the refs really wanted to send a message. Toss both

Stocktonblues

It's not hilarious that the refs told the coaches to tone it down.

Eddie

1/21/22 10:22am

He wasn't trying to take the kid's head off but he was giving him a forearm.

I agree with you

Look at about the 1:19:00 - 1:20:00 mark on the game on BYUTV.org

It may have instigated as "self defense" meaning if the other guy doesn't come

AFewThoughts

Basically what I said, the posture began as self defense

Big12Yfan

1/21/22 10:26am

And it wouldn't have been if he hadn't hit the other kid in the head.

Eddie

1/21/22 10:33am

You are definitely the only one

I think he planned a body shot, not head/neck.

Madam Pattirini

1/21/22 11:13am

I agree it didn’t warrant an ejection. But he definitely meant to do it.

R.Nichols

1/21/22 11:28am

I think he took offensive to the scuffle and expected 3 to come at him, so he

I think young Atiki learned a valuable lesson last night.

Forzaitalia

Yes, he has to much more discrete which giving the forearm shiver.
