San Diego state targets and causes an incompletion to win the game. Something is wrong with this.

No different than any other penalty. Defensive players on a final play are told to do anything they can, interfere if they have to

I bet this will become a spot foul next year in situations like that. Not sure how they will word the rule but any loophole that can even loosely be construed as putting the player's safety at risk will not be tolerated based on what we've seen over the last few years.

The ending to that game was bananas. Wish I could of been there.

Targeting is a personal foul. That's a 15-yard penalty and automatic 1st down. I think I would be opposed to making it a spot foul.

Especially in the college game, there's no real downside to holding or PI'ng on a "need a TD or game over" type play.
