ejection. That's just my personal opinion though, and I respect yours. If Harper didn't have a targeting on the same play, I don't think people would have been calling for an ejection. The rest, the officials did by the book though.

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.

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

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.

#2 or #4 could have merited an ejection

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

Uh, he head butted him.

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

Flagrant personal foul absolutely. One could argue fighting.

The biggest thing is they ejected Harper for something incidental and let the

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

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

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

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.

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.
