      You realize that the BYU won the game, right? I could see bringing this up if it had cost the game for the Cougars, but after a win?

      Also, isn't Johnson the guy on the team that has had that called against him in other games? I'm not saying that the officials were targeting him, but if he's the one who has done it before, then he ought to change his tackling technique.

        I'm not saying I favor it. This is an important rule and if the cost is that sometimes they err on the side of caution, it is an acceptable cost.

          Too narrow of a view. The secret combination will still be there next year, this is the critical point you are missing.

            I really gotta work on my conspiracy theory skills.

              I don't remember him getting penalized for this before. Anybody else?

              And if BYU had lost, then it would be silly to bring up something like a penalty instead of the many, many legal plays in which the other team beat you. In other words, I don't think a win or a loss is a better or worse reason to gripe.

                Who's arguing conspiracy? I'm arguing bad call on a great play.

                      In real time, it does look like it is helmet to helmet, no? What should a referee do when this is the case?

                        Well, in my totally non-biased viewpoint from row 18 in section 105, I thought it looked clean in real time . . .

                          Fair enough, but the two guys standing right on top of it threw their flags immediately. Don't you are agree with me that this is an acceptable cost of the rule?

                            well he obviously didn't hit the guy in the head; the ball was in the receiver's hands and he blasted the ball out of his grip with his helmet, just like every DB is taught. That was immediately obvious to me when the play first happened.

                            The announcers need to STFU with their speculation and conjecture. "He goes for the head." Really. You know that how? Since he didn't hit him in the head and instead broke up the catch by nailing the ball out of the receiver's hands with his helmet? Brilliant revelation there, Madame Ruby.

Just like any other judgment call, if you do something that looks like the foul you are going to get called for the foul. Common sense. Or maybe it is part of the ongoing secret combination which has been working for decades to job the Cougars. Could be that.
                              Dan, can you explain how you're an authority on football rules and their interpretations?

                                I slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night, though nothing I have said requires me to be an expert.
