Adventures in officiating - BostonCard - 10-23-2015

Apparently ASU's scrum run against UCLA did include one player grasping and pulling the runner, which should have been a 5-yard spot of the foul penalty, giving ASU first and goal at the 9 yard line or so.

In news relevant to Stanford, UCLA's targetting call when Blake Martinez was "blocked" was upheld.

Quote:He added that the officials made the right call when UCLA wide receiver Kenneth Walker III hit Stanford linebacker Blake Martinez on a blind-side block. He noted that Walker’s helmet hits Martinez’s facemask, which is considered helmet-to-helmet.

Someone here - maybe you BC? - pointed that out in a thread just after that game.

I have to say that on first glance, I find it odd that pushing the runner is okay but pulling the runner is not.

[If I remember correctly, the sequence was:
- somebody was claiming we should have been flagged for pushing a runner in a short yardage play,
- someone else noted that pushing is now okay,
- I pointed out this ASU play made that pretty clear,
- another post noted that ASU play was still illegal because of the pulling ]

Despite the whining by Bruins and David Pollack, that was as obvious a targetting call as there is.
