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.

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.
