[Lovnrockytop]

No

 

[rjd970]

No, but could have been called for unnecessary roughness. He was well across the goal line.

 

[Alto1]

No, it was little shoulder to bigger shoulder.

 

[VAVol85]

I didn’t really think it qualified as targeting. Plus I think the DB got the worst of that hit!

 

[Nugget]

No

He did not lead with his helmet, but there was helmet-to-helmet contact = personal foul.

 

[Doberman]

Those calls are reserved for the guys in Orange.

Targeting is the worst written rule in College football!! They need to be able to use discretion on the ejection/suspensions. Half (if not more) of the targeting calls, are unavoidable situations when going low to make a tackle and the running back lowers his head. This never gets called on the offensive player in college, and rarely to you see a roughing call in the NFL for lowering the helmet.

 

[Remy]

What needs to occur is more targeting calls on RBs, WRs, and QBs who duck their heads and lead with the crown of the helmet as well when they expect contact. More targeting calls against offensive players.

 

[The Original Fade]

No, but the hit on Hooker by Bama was clearly targeting and the refs remembered what stadium they were in and did nothing

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

If it was a UT defender, it would have been 2 ejections.

 

[tennesseejoe]

It looked like helmets hit before the shoulders

 

[VolBricks]

in the strictest form of targeting, yes they missed one. In the real world no they did not miss that call.

 

[FïreBall]

I think they missed a horse collar on Holidays return...

 

[Sarms58]

Not really but they made a really bad horse collar call…it’s like the ref didn’t know the runners head from his ass..

 

[GAVol]

Nope. Both guys lowered their heads and Warren was no longer a defenseless player at that point.

 

[Coddlecreek1]

No, but could have been called for unnecessary roughness. He was well across the goal line.

That would for Warren, he got the best of that dude

 

[Volfan574]

Not targeting

 

[peerless98]

I've always wondered why late hits rarely get called in the end zone, but it is called often out of bounds on the sidelines.

 

[GVol1966]

No, but they did miss a face mask call

 

[ftsandersvol]

I think they missed a horse collar on Holidays return...

They definitely missed that one. I kept waiting for the flag to be thrown.

How the hell can you go low to tackle a man without TAKING YOUR HEAD with you? Riddle me that; ncaa.

You don't launch, and you put your facemask in the guy's chest. Simple.
