ESPN's Tim Tebow joined "First Take" on Friday and passionately expressed that the targeting penalty against Devin White was completely wrong and that it's "ridiculous" he will miss the first half vs. No. 1 Alabama on Nov. 3.

Tebow also said that SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey or the NCAA should step in and let White play.
quote:

"It's so ridiculous, it truly is," Tebow said. "I do think that we do need to take care of players and we should have fouls for when people are truly trying to hurt someone else and truly going to the head or neck area."

"He barely touched him with his facemask, you can see he was trying to pull off. He is the second best player on the field. It's Tua Tagovailoa and Devin White, by far. He is the best linebacker in the country in my opinion. He goes sideline to sideline, he's the tone setter."

"Pretty much what the ref said is 'hey LSU we're taking out your best player, good luck against Alabama,' it's ridiculous. I don't think refs should have that responsibility. I think either the SEC Commissioner or the NCAA should come in and let Devin play because you are truly changing the season for LSU and for Alabama by not letting him play. I think it's ridiculous and the NCAA should step in because it's a stupid rule."

Tebow has more balls than any of the SEC Network guys to call this out.

I have always liked Tim Tebow, except of course when he played against LSU.

But seriously, Tim doesnt care. He does Tim, and is a genuine article, who isn’t afraid of standing up. God Bless Him.

When Tim Tebow played quarterback for Florida, a bogus targeting foul was once called when Auburn's best defensive player sacked him. Tebow then famously went to the official, put his hands on his shoulders, looked him in the eye, and told him, "I cannot tell a lie, that was not targeting." Everyone rejoiced in his honesty and the call was reversed. However, when the SEC realized that Auburn was scheduled to play Alabama the next week, a call from the commissioner's office was made to the booth official and a message was relayed to the field. The officials then had a meeting and the targeting penalty was enforced. The next week, Auburn gave up 21 points in the first half with their best player out against Alabama and ultimately lost the game 21-20. The SEC and Alabama were pleased, the NCAA did nothing, and everyone just moved on. True story.

I can almost forgive him for the jump pass touch downs against LSU. Maybe...I am sure.

And it’s not even certain any part of the helmets touched. You can assume that maybe they did but there’s no angle where anyone can definitively say they touched.

Tebeaux knows the SEC has the fix in for Devin White. They have to protect the golden boys
