The difference was explained.

The BAMA player hit a running back that had the football. The TAMU player hit the running back on a block with his head turned making him "defenseless". Now not saying I agree this is what was given as the excuse.

I could actually buy this logic, but the announcers at the time said it was officially called not targeting because the Bama player didn't lead with the crown, which of course he clearly did. So if that was the official reason, then there is definitely a problem.

According to the rules, being defenseless has nothing to do with it if you lead with the crown of the helmet. The Bama player did lead with the crown of the helmet. The fact that it was not called on the field is understandable. However, The fact that the replay booth did not take a look at it speaks volumes.
