Left ground- helmet to helmet- looks like he tried to let up- targeting overturned- Wisky-Illinois game.

Don't disagree. But again, this bullcrap is called targeting against us over and over.

Called targeting, overturned on review, then awarded an unsportsmanlike penalty on review

Unsportsmanlike was on a different player for protesting the targeting call before it was overturned, arkie got a touchdown after the 15 yard penalty for cussing a ref

I wouldn't be surprised if we lead the nation in targeting since that became a penalty
We tied for first last season with UCLA, Utah, New Mexico State, Ohio State, and Temple. Total of five. We're well ahead of that pace this season.

TT/KU game: TT receiver has caught the ball and lowers his head preparing for contact as KU db is preparing to make tackle. Helmet to helmet contact NOT called on the field but from the booth. KU db ejected

No it wasn't. I hate that Bama gets those overturned and other schools but they made the right decision

Agree big name schools get actual objective reviews but simply watching the play, the bama guy did not target.

I'd rather fight the fight of refs getting them right for all schools instead of whining and wishing they'd get screwed because the Ags have been screwed

Oh I'm not saying it was targeting, I agreed with the call. I don't like when the offensive player lowers their head and initiates the contact.

Agree.... Bama gets more than their share of favorable calls but this was a good overrule.

The pendulum has swung too far on this targeting issue and the penalty is too severe.

Something must be done about this rule in the offseason!

He didn't target the player and use the crown of his helmet. He led with his shoulder and the UT player ducked HIS head and drive the crown of his helmet into the shoulder pad of the defender.

They won't change this rule for two reasons.

1st, lawyers.

2nd, it gives refs and replay officials too much power. They will not give that power away.

I agree with you all re: the rule though. It's such bull**** and so arbitrary. Most actual bad targeting calls I see don't even get a review. Then anytime there's a big play with a whiplash, crowd roar, or an isolated play in space they'll always call it and review it and rarely overturn when they should.

targeting does not have to involve the crown of the helmet and says nothing about the offensive player ducking.

Mizzou player on a block on a punt return.

IMO it was a stupid block because it was behind the play but in a perfect world it is just unnecessary roughness and not targeting. Don't think he intended to lead.

Happens with 23 seconds in 2nd quarter though so lucky him

But it does have this caveat:

Quote:

Note 1: "Targeting" means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball.


I think they made the right call. And that's the part so many refs get wrong. It's pretty easy imo to see when there is intent. Refs are acting like it doesn't matter and they're leaning too hard on the "if in doubt, it's targeting" part of the rule.

Penn state player launches into an Indiana ball carrier with the crown of his helmet. Not a defenseless player.

Edit: confirmed the targeting call
