Am I the only one that thinks this makes BYU fans extremely blue Googled?

I was fine with the targeting call on Harper. However,

And it took refs Foreeever to make the call.

The officiating added about an hour to the game with their terrible pace and

Maybe. Based on what rule though? Targeting?! No. It was unsportsmanlike

cougaman

10/17/20 11:44pm

He launched, he lead with the crown and made forceful contact to the head. He

And they also could have thrown a flag on Harper for taunting him.

You've gone too far...they dont call that anymore they let everyone stare down

#2 or #4 could have merited an ejection

Those would be a real stretch imo. He just got in Harpers face. He deserved the

cougaman

10/17/20 11:53pm

Uh, he head butted him.

10/17/20 11:58pm

do you think that act warranted an ejecting for "fighting", "flagrant personal

cougaman

10/18/20 12:04am

Flagrant personal foul absolutely. One could argue fighting.

10/18/20 12:06am

Considering that Harper got up and taunted him, I didn't feel he warranted an

They are bound by stupid rules. What would they eject the other player for?

cougaman

10/17/20 11:45pm

What he did was technically targeting, and you can eject players for things like

wabluecoug

10/17/20 11:48pm

Yep. Posted rules above. Could have qualified as ejection 2 different ways.

Cougarrr

10/17/20 11:49pm

So you think he should have been ejected for targeting? You think he "launched"

cougaman

10/17/20 11:57pm

What he did is little different than taking your helmet off and hitting someone

Ungoy

10/18/20 12:10am

The difference in speed and danger to the opposing player is quite significant.

cougaman

10/18/20 12:11am

Not much different than a punch.

BYU '80

10/18/20 12:20am

I think it's more like a push than a punch. Just my opinion though

cougaman

10/18/20 12:24am

The helmet is a weapon and he used it as one. Just like targeting. Fights get started with stuff like that

BYU '80

10/18/20 12:27am

Do you honestly think that the Houston player used his helmet as a weapon and

There were two block in the backs that I saw on the Allgeier screen pass.

10/18/20 12:17am

The one called was phantom. The other would have been legit

BYU '80

10/18/20 12:20am

Which was phantom? The OL didn't actually push him, but the penalty was enforced

cougaman

10/18/20 12:23am

Maybe so. Refs didn’t announce the number and I didn’t know from where they enforced it.

BYU '80

10/18/20 12:26am

It was. I watched a few times to check.

cougaman

10/18/20 12:28am

Homers? No kidding Sherlock! You’re on a BYU fan board.
