Honestly, when I saw the JPJ playing thought he may have stumbled over the legs of the down player, rather than jumping on him.
He even seemed to cushion the impact by extending his arms to break the fall.
I don’t remember that play but that sounds like a hold not a personal foul, which I initially thought the flag might be on JPJ.
IMO, they were similar situations... JPJ didn't launch himself at the guy.
Of course the number of potential targeting/personal fouls committed against Oregon offensive players (Bo a couple weeks ago, and Bucky yesterday, for example) that were completely ignored by officials this season are more concerning.
It's perfectly reasonable to not see what's happening to the ball carrier once he's on the ground.
"Nothing to see, here!"
Autzen Stadium... Where great teams go to die...Hard!

There were times over the last 30 years when I thought we could catch lightning in a bottle and beat the big boys, but I think we are as good as anyone in the country right now, maybe better - including Georgia.
We will never be as good as Michigan…until we can have a next level sign stealing program.

Rewatched the game and focused on JPJ. The guy lives to pile on and hit people in the back in a scrum. Not saying he’s dirty but he’s pretty unclean.
He was Lao the first guy from either team, to go talk to the injured Cal RB once he got on the cart. He seems like a good dude who just loves football.
