I was going to watch the Sugar Bowl, but I just canā€™t stomach it. Iā€™m watching ā€œStella Dallasā€ one of my favorite old movies.

It was textbook

Targeting and Making Forcible Contact With the Crown of the Helmet
ARTICLE 3. No player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown of his helmet. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul. (Rule 9-6) (A.R. 9-1-3-I)

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. Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to:
  • Launch-a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area
  • A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground
  • Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area
  • Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet

Itā€™s a ******** rule. Itā€™s understandable on helmet shots. The ejection needs to be done away with. Or We should just go to 2 hand touch.

I don't disagree with you, but that is the rule. Unless it's a shot to the head/neck area, I also think there should be no ejection.
