I completely disagree. It was obvious that he was leading with his shoulder and going for the chest area and Johnson was the one that changed levels and dipped down at the last minute.

If I were playing college football right now I'd much rather get hit in the helmet by a shoulder pad than somebody go low every single time and possibly tear my ACL or something. The NCAA is putting a lot of players careers at risk because they want to cover their asses in the future so they don't get sued over head injuries

OK.Homer... If an AU player did the same thing to Harris ...YOU would be saying he should be kicked off the team.............

He dropped a little, but it still counts as targeting. If it's close, they'll call it every time. Right call, imo.
