Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Still pissed after the win.

It takes a special kind of asshole to bitch about the refs after a 26 point (or whatever) win, but my mom told me I'm special.
Everybody hates Taylor after this game, but he actually played well. Neither of his PIs were even in the universe of PI ("illegal happening to be in the way of a receiver when a wounded duck hits the ground near nobody"), and he was generally playing close coverage, forcing overthrows. Harris gets called for a hold, doing the EXACT same thing that BYU's tackles were doing on like half of their passing plays--never called.
Mostly, though, I'm still pissed about the targeting. Not only did that extend a drive when BYU was looking pretty shellshocked, but it cost the Dwags perhaps their best pass rusher for half of a game against a team that does nothing but pass. Say what you will about Tryon so far this season, but watching USC against Utah, this is a game that is tailor-made for that guy.
What's the fucking point of an offsite review if they're going to get it THAT horribly and obviously wrong? When every single commentator in the box spends five minutes saying, "Great hit, no way that's targeting," and then it's targeting? Ya done fucked up.
I can handle the BS PI calls after a win like that, but the targeting call is sticking in my craw still.

I also watched the game second half first, first half second, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Gordon will be fine. Better than fine. Watch him later in the season.
I noticed yesterday that Molden and McDuffie, not two of our bigger corners, are impressively strong. Both were able to arg doll BYU receivers even when not perfectly squared up.
