You runs that far to yell and gesture at an official and you takes your chances. Just sayin'.

Looks intentional to me.

Agreed. Good decision on the part of the official for USC and DQ.

Stokely running 30 yds to argue with me would draw a flag immediately from me (even before he said a word). How about you?

This is not baseball, softball, or basketball. No flag for that.

Most every game you can see a player or coach vent their frustration at what they believe to be a bad call - you see them leap into the air, jump up and down, pound the ground, throw their hands in the air in exasperation, wag their fingers, etc. and NOTHING happens in the way of a penalty as they are far enough from an official that it is “ignored.”

To intentionally go toward and official and do it that close – you get what you earned.

Maybe not in the NFL. On Friday nights, though, absolutely.

It baffles me as to how contact with an official such at this, which we can all argue weather it was intentional or not, deems immediate ejection. However actions in the past few weeks in the NFC East Primtime games between the Giants/Eagles and Giants/Redskins where there were fights and only 1 ejection and 0 suspensions. I agree 100% that Stokely diserved the USC flag, weather or not the call was missed on the holding/PI on the play prior.

Agreed. Coulda, shoulda been 2 USCs for 30 yards. I've never seen that in the NFL however.

NFHS- Absolutely
NCAA- Most likely
NFL- Maybe not
