Only 2 of the following plays were NOT called targeting. Can you guess which two?

Bama has been the tu of the SEC for years. Nothing new.

Damn. And those were the two most brutal.

Although, 12s hit on that Tennessee guy was not called either.

Why is the Ref pulling his flag so early in #3? Looked more late hit than targeting,
Joe Exotic

None of those should be targeting

The targeting rule sucks and should be abolished. That would solve 100% of the controversy and (would help to) un-pussify modern football.

If the SEC isn't going to protect our players and Saban is going to attaboy his guys for that then the next time we play Bama we should absolutely head hunt every ****ing play. ****'em. Make the refs kick our whole team out of the game.

It's either a huge deal or its not a big deal. Either way what school you get your scholarship from shouldn't determine if you should be subjected those hits or not.

I agree throw a couple of 2nd and 3rd string guys in to just absolutely concuss Alabama's QB, even after the whistle blows. Take the penalty and do it again

Agreed. Make that **** obvious. Either enforce the rules equally or dump the damb rule

It should be a penalty if you lead with the crown of your helmet like a battering ram. It should not be a penalty for incidental helmet to helmet contact.

I mean this in general principal, but that is not how the rule is written or enforced.

In those examples from the OP, only the Bama and tu players led with the crown of their helmet.

The helmet should be used as protective equipment and not a weapon.

I doubt our 2nd and 3rd string guys would get to the QB. Much less concuss him.

tu no-call was worse than Bama no-call. By rule, yes the Speedy hit was helmet to helmet, but if I was the ref I wouldn't have thrown the flag either. Great hit and a good football play IMO.

Are sec refs racists against African American head coaches?

The only one that looks like targeting, by definition, is 5.

True, if you took out or disregarded the verbiage about crown of the helmet. The Bama player hit Speedy with the crown of his helmet. It was obvious in live action, at least worthy of a review (which didn't happen). If reviewed, then it would have been clear that it was targeting.

That is exactly what the bammers and sips of the world want you to do.

Just sit back and take it because it is their birthright to have the refs cheat for them.

In the OP.

All are Personal Foul Helmet to Helmet hits, except the last one where it is Targeting.

Helmet to helmet is legal if you lead with the face mask on a non-defenseless player.

All the words boil down simply to this

1)
Can't hit with the crown of the helmet to any part of the body, defenseless or not. (This happened to Speedy)

2)
Can't hit a defenseless player in the head with any part of the body.

The goal should be to protect players, so IMO defenseless should be removed from part 2

The key word there is "forcible contact" which entails leaving your feet, launching, etc. A routine hit where you make helmet to helmet contact without leading with the crown is legal. The ncaa spokesperson cleared it up last month.

This targeting call was another ridiculous call this year. PSU linebacker going for int and incidental contact on Mich. What if he would have intercepted the pass???

Targeting rules need to be modified or done away with.
