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 ]
Quote:In news relevant to Stanford, UCLA's targetting call when Blake Martinez was "blocked" was upheld.
Despite the whining by Bruins and David Pollack, that was as obvious a targetting call as there is.
