He didn’t have time to defend himself, which is why he got smashed in the head by a helmet.

Definitely was targeting and definitely affected the outcome of the game.

I hate to ever agree with an LSU fan but if that wasn't targeting, they should never call targeting.

Texas got charged for defensive pass interference when it was clearly offensive pass interference. They didn't frick them alabama style

LOL Watch the video that you posted..or mine that shows every angle. It's less than half a second in your SUPER SLOWMO video. He was literally blown up as soon as the ball hit his hands and started turning his head.

Everyone agrees it was a terrible blown call, and i use the word "blown" loosely, except for horn fans that either don't want to admit they were given the game or are just trolling at this point.

If he’s able to secure the catch, turn and take steps, then he can defend himself.

I went to both schools, I’m pretty unbiased when it came to this game. I wouldn’t say they handed Texas the game. Let’s say for a second that they called targeting. ASU gets a shot at a FG. The kicker has been arse this year. Dillingham called for student tryouts after the Cincinnati game. Odds are pretty high he misses.

Now calls were missed both ways. Some that went in ASU’s favor….

- 2 offensive linemen downfield during the 2 pt conversion that went uncalled, even though they called Texas for holding (should have been offsetting penalties).

- Skat pushed off Taffee on the seam route (was called DPI when it was an OPI)

-Skat touchdown in the first OT. The lineman pulled Skat into the endzone (illegal in the rulebook).

Those are 3 very costly non calls that went ASU’s way.

The fix is in for tx. Shocker.
Yeah they penalized Texas more throughout the game but knew they'd have that opportunity to do what Texas/SEC/Illuminati demanded. They also didn't call ineligible receivers down field on the ASU TD in OT and let them drag Skattebo across the goal line earlier, so it wouldn't look too obvious. Masterful!

Go watch the play in full speed and then come back here and tell me it was a fumble if he dropped the ball. Because that's what you are saying.

You’re wrong. There’s no other way to say it.

If they call targeting, it's 1st &10 at the texas 37 with over a minute left and 1 timeout.

In full speed it doesn’t even look like targeting lol.

That’s not at all what I’m saying. I’m stating he secured the ball, turned and took a step. He had enough time to protect himself.

If he completed the catch like you say with enough time to make a football move and then dropped the ball after the hit it’s a fumble.


If you agree that it would have been an incompletion if the ball was dropped after that hit, then what you are saying is the receiver was defenseless.

So now a player needs to make a football move or else they’re defenseless?

A player needs to be able to defend one self to not be defenseless

I saw this and mentioned it in the game thread. Wouldn't have mattered because the play would have been a do over which is what Asu got.

quote:

Skat touchdown in the first OT. The lineman pulled Skat into the endzone (illegal in the rulebook).


Doesn't mean Asu doesn't score a td on the following plays.

The targeting ended a drive for Asu.

The other fouls you mentioned that weren't called for UT wouldn't have. There is the difference.
