There was absolutely nothing Jam could’ve done today to avoid making contact with his helmet on that play.


If he had his eyes up and head back, it wouldn’t have been targeting. Can’t use the crown.

If he had had his head back the guy would have broken his neck. Dude stuck the crown of his helmet into Miller. It's a bullcrap call.

They claim it’s to protect the defenders from concussions however if he would’ve kept his head up on that play he’s head would’ve whipped back from the contact and he would’ve definitely been seeing stars.
The NCAA can’t have it both ways. You either have to let defenders level offensive players with their shoulders or stop calling targeting when the defender is taking the hit to avoided getting the targeting foul.

You’re correct, but even then with a text book tackle center of the chest the crown can hit under the chin, Refs will call it especially on a QB
