I think they actually let the ncaa rule it.

They should. I really think if you have a lot of people saying how ridiculous his call was, it may get the NCAA involved finally. You can’t mess with the integrity of the game. If it keeps getting rehashed it will make the NCAA move. Question yourself.

Why was that call made at that moment in the game? Why were there two other penalties assessed at that time? What was the initial result of the play? How often do you see 45 penalty yards assessed in one play against one team and reverse possession of the ball while ejecting a player?

If you look at that with honest eyes you’ll see that no other team has ever been penalized on one play like that without there being an outright fight among teams in one play.

There was an effort before the season began to get the NCAA to change the targeting rule to be more in line with the NFL version. This was because the way the NCAA version is, its too easy to get flagged for targeting while tackling a QB but the NCAA refused. They wanted the rule just like it is to get defenders to avoid contact with the head and neck areas of a so-called defenseless player. So I doubt the NCAA will make any changes, at least not before the end of the season. I remember when the targeting rule first came out. They wanted the refs to flag targeting if it COULD BE targeting. Then a review could reverse the ejection of the player if video evidence proved it wasn't targeting. But back then, the team flagged still got the 15 yard penalty even when the review had video evidence that it wasn't targeting. I think Targeting us the NCAA's pet rule.
