This rule needs some serious retooling.

The JSU QB takes a very late slide on an option run and the auburn defender tackles him and happens to hit the QBs head

Boom, targeting and the player is ejected. Unbelievable

I understand, just update the title.

I'll reserve judgement, but these calls are usually awful

It's just so hard to believe that rule has been allowed to continue. It's so ungodly awful.

That's my issue. I understand making a mistake in live time. It happens. To err is human. But damn if they don't look like a bunch of damn mouthbreathers when they see the video and still can't make a rational decision.

That was probably the worst looking view you could find too. In real time and the other views it looks like an even worse call

And that "malicious" targeting will cost that guy an entire game of play time (second half of this game and first half of LSU next week)

Pathetic. The DB committed before the QB

Apparently he won't miss next week because it happened in the first half
