You mean that textbook example of targeting which somehow wasn't? Yeah that was some blatant favoritism.

Seemed like a common theme this year. If that wasn't targeting in the AZ State game, I don't know what is. Even the expert official said the WR was defenseless. Bad thing is, they didn't get it right even after review. Another example, one of many, was GA Tech getting robbed against UGA.

It was not targeting. He did not lower his head to hit the WR. He did not launch. The hit was not with the crown of the helmet. The contact was just as much the fault of the WR as the DB and how their bodies lined up when the tackle was made. It did not meet the guidelines related to targeting at all.

If that was in fact targeting, then a lot of tackles that are made in every game would be targeting.

In my mind if nobody gets penalized for that and the idea of the penalty is to protect a defenless player. They should go back letting all hits count. I saw hits that were almost exactly identical and reviewed, I mean grown men looking at it and calling it different. It is very frustrating as a football a fan. I was just watching did not really care who won ju,st sometimes when they go on the phone and the big money shakers are discussing and making decisions it seems like the money match ups comes out to the good on the calls. Steering teams for more money making TV games.

ASU got the favor back with the no call on assisting the player. Definitely was not pushing into the end zone.

I had forgot about that one - that was the one where Tennessee was penalized for doing the same thing.

Yes. But, way more obvious when you lineman, in open field with no obstruction of views, is between the runner and hte goal line and suplexes his own player into the end zone. Bad no calls were even steven IMO.

Rule states, " An example is lowering the head and attacking with the crown of the helmet". That wasn't the case here. Another example is "Leading with the helmet, shoulder, and/or forearm to attack head and neck area". That applies here. Also, the receiver was defenseless. I'm certainly no expert, but ESPN rules analyst Matt Austin is and said the receiver was defenseless and was hit in the head. He said he wouldn't be surprised if it was ruled targeting. NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay said it was "Clearly a targeting foul". Obviously, it was a judgement call, but I have to disagree with you on the "did not meet the guidelines related to targeting at all". It could've gone either way and as such, has been highly debated.

I don't guess anybody cares, but for a defenseless player, you have a separate set of rules where you have to have "indicators" of targeting along with hitting the guy in the head with an arm or a shoulder or your own helmet or whatever (there's a list of body parts).

I think let's just assume the head was hit and the guy was defenseless. So for those of you that think it was targeting, just tell us which indicator you picked. Otherwise, it's just jibber jabber.
