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

Am I the only one who thinks Atiki only lifted his arms in self defense seeing

Yes. You are probably the only one haha.

It was a definite forearm shiver

Kilgruman

The Nick Emery school of self defense

Str8CashCougar

1/21/22 11:50am

Yeah, pretty much

ColoSpgs

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

Cougarclaw

1/21/22 9:39am

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

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

Cougarclaw

1/21/22 9:59am

Kudos, the guy was mugging Barcelo all night.Very aggressive almost dirty player

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...

Yup. Take the blue goggles off then re-watch the play

I'm trying to find the replay. 😕

Maybe Fowler can explain it to you.

He extended his arm into the other kids head.

Eddie

1/21/22 9:42am

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

hydrocoug

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.

Lifi

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

osbooks

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.

kccougar

I agree with you

Link to the play?

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

AFewThoughts

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

AFewThoughts

1/21/22 10:05am

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

Big12Yfan

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

1/21/22 11:47am

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

I was thinking of the post game celebration from the previous game
