When did a legal block that is relevant to the play, in front, above the waist, not helmet to helmet become unecessary roughness? Jesus that call was maybe the worst of the year.

    Bullshit.

    There has been no change to blocking.

    It's fucking Pac12 refs being the fucktards they are.

    Even the fucking announcers were shocked.

    the refs were just doing their jobs... just like the prison guards at Auschwitz

    (Okay, maybe a ridiculous exaggeration, but still...)

    That was the one fuckup I saw from the officials all night.

    Truth. Kikaha's and Shelton's hands to the face penalties were a tad cheap but by the book.

    PF call on Daniels was an absolute joke. They punted that series though IIRC.

    Hands to the face on #8 early was a joke but I'm pretty sure they ended up punting that series anyways.

    Holding call on the 4th and inches, first Husky series, also a joke. That one stung.

    Stanford OL got away with some of the most flagrant, non-called holds I've ever seen in the first half. I know this goes on all the time but a couple were on the perimeter where everyone could see them. Again, they didn't score on those possessions.

    Of all the blatantly bad calls or non-calls, only the phantom holding on that early Husky possession may have affected the outcome.

    The hands to the face call was on #80, not #8. It was a clear foul.

    The hold was a tackle by Charles at the point of attack. Again, a clear foul.

    The holds I saw against Stanford early were away from the play. Those should generally be ignored.

    That's right. I forgot about that explanation.

    Totally disagree on the hold on Charles. Bang bang play, 4th and inches, a cheap hold that had no affect.

    I don't see holding unless it's directly affecting the play since I tend to watch the ball carrier and whomever is chasing him. The two worst Stanford holds I saw were, 1) a tackle from behind by a guard on a run that went right through his hole, and 2) a prolonged shirt grab by the right tackle or TE, not sure, on a run around the right end.

    The hold by Charles prevented the Stanford LB from making a tackle for a loss. On fourth down, that's a pretty big deal.

    What was the rule? Blocking too hard is illegal?

    It's only illegal if you commit a targeting foul on a blind-side block. Since it wasn't called targeting, it should not have been a foul at all.

    Pac-12 football is soft, the SEC is still enjoying knocking people the fuck out
    Football as a whole is soft. The NFL, college football is all soft. Only the SEC is old school.

    Refs are job-scared. Don't wanna join soup line with Kitty and co! Serious, and its a problem. The "defenseless "player was about to tackle return man. Starting to dislike college football.

    That penalty on Daniels was crap. the stanford guy was about to attempt a tackle and Daniels made a clean block. The way the rules are interpreted in the pac12 there are two ways Daniels could have avoided a penalty making that block: 1) play in a different conference, 2). Set a pick like in the game of basketball, basically let the guy run into you without forcing the hurt on somebody.

    All levels of football are scared of more lawsuits from former players. We are seeing the results. The rules change every 3 months and the referees are told to error on the side of caution... I understand and agree with trying to penalize and discourage the helmet to helmet hits, targeting, obvious late hits and stuff like that, but it gets ridiculous. It's a violent game. if you don't like it, LEAVE!

    It's actually Riddell's fault.

    It was a blindside legal block hard enough to hurt the blockee while not injuring or maiming his body parts much less concussing his brain, but which under the new endangerment rule as applied to tackle football can now be called a personal foul for excessive roughness depending upon the blindside's blasting value. A blindside like the one we saw delivered by the penalized Husky to the unsuspecting Stanfordite is the equivalent of hitting a baseball with the sweet spot of the bat and is the stuff that wet dreams are made of for anybody that's played football and had the fun of flying around blasting the other guys on kick or punt returns.

    BTW, endangerment is a term probably only applied to soccer before the current efforts to pussify football. We're going to have to live with this if mommies are expected to let their babies play The Game in the future.
