The targeting call

[vollygirl]

I don't get it. He lowered his head, and lead with his shoulder. What was he supposed to do?

 

[LHCVOLS]

BS call.

 

[Bukowskified]

Play two hand touch

 

[Kristy*]

Wear maroon.

 

[Vols_14]

Pay the refs more than Sumlin did apparently.

 

[mccrackb]

They are getting hosed on some calls. But, I like this team. Look out 2nd half. Going to be a nailbitter

 

[ImportedVoL]

Helemets hit eachother..they have to call it.

I think it is a BS rule..But they have to call those now

They have missed 2 other ones already.

 

[Orange Daddy]

his head was not low enough, they call that every time..

 

[ajvol01]

What about #12 for A&M knocking Evan Berry cold?

 

[dev47]

it was BS

If they had called number 12's on Berry, then he wouldn't have still been in the game to get hit. Then he walks around waving. Be a man.

I'm trying to figure this out also.

I guess "defenseless player" could be argued. But #12 was pursuing the ball player. So my argument - like the refs - is wrong

The Dobbs pass went forward, not a fumble. TAM running out of bounds, no call. Targeting call a joke. Holding on Malone, I mean the TAM DBs are completely wrapping up our receivers before the ball gets there, no calls. We have to beat TAM and the referees. Sounds like a typical UT vs anybody game. Go Vols! Win this!

Defenseless player has nothing to do with it. This is the number one issue at all levels of football and they totally ignored it. Berry hasn't returned as far as I know. Its bull****.

 

[TheEndlessEnigma]

I think the call was maybe correct but I don't like the rule at all.

 

[AustinMem]

It was definitely helmet to helmet. Not sure it wasn't retaliation for the non-call against the same player on Berry. Noticed I haven't seen Berry much since that hit.

I find myself liking A&M more and more as the game goes on. Between the punk #12 and the whiney punter.

 

[ftsandersvol]

If they are going to call that, blow out their knees.

 

[edyeary]

I don't mind it being a penalty but the NCAA has got to address the disqualification bs rule.

 

[GAVol]

Not peel back block and hit high.

Agreed. Way too severe for something subjective.

 

[vollygirl]

I don't understand what you're saying. Talk to me like I'm a girl.

He came back down the field to block behind the runner after the ball was caught. And he hit him at the shoulders/head area. Should have went lower and took out his legs if at all.

I'm in the hospital right now and they're trying to keep my heart going. I'll revisit this tomorrow.
