At end of the day they did flag the Turner hit as roughing the passer.
Maybe you flag Sam for personal foul but it was not targeting when the RB lowers his head and Sam was just making a tackle as he was taught. They have hits with RB's like that all game. The officials on the field didn't see it so I have no idea what made the booth review that while not stopping play and reviewing the Turner hit.
LSU will get the typical SEC response and not one damn thing will change.

This actually made the decisions to not call it targeting on the field, then not to review it, then to defend it the week after exponentially worse. They threw the flag because there was contact to the head and neck not because it was late and not because he drove him to the ground under his body weight. This is what the head ref who threw the flag announced at the time.

Forcible contact to the head or neck of a defenseless player is targeting. The ref announced contact to the head or neck, the QB in a throwing motion is defenseless by definition. They literally said everything needed for targeting was there they just didn’t call it, didn’t review it, then the week after said it didn’t meet the definition which is simply not true. Then no one questions it. It’s pathetic.
