Forehead hit, not crown. Hard hit, but not targeting. I think they got that one right.

They had the rule on the screen. Doesn't have to be crown of the helmet.

Has to be a hit to the head/neck area. It was a deliberate hit to the Tulane player's head.

Absolutely it was targeting.

This. The intent of the rule is to not hit with the crown of the helmet. Defender had his head up and hit with his forehead, top of the face mask. Hence, not targeting. Good no call IMO.

Crazy that people can make a judgement on a rule that they have never read.
