Hands clearly at the chest area (not head) and he is intentionally Keeping his head behind his hands imv. If they spent more than 10 seconds reviewing it would be clear.

Then there is the litany of calls made on far more egregious hits by bama than this. That’s what’s most disturbing , but expected

Clearly broke it...would this definition include the front of shoulder pad below the neck while in the process of "checking-up" in the forceful contact and even putting an arm immediately behind to lessen and support the hittee?

Great pics. Clearly shows head up, forearm to the chest. If there is any contact with head or neck area it is incidental at worst.

The most I've seen on replay is maybe a grazing touch of the facemasks.

That is not targeting.

The chest and neck are two different body parts.

When you get a sec, ask someone to explain it to you who isn't functionally retarded.

If he would have planted his helmet into the QBs neck, breaking his collarbone, he'd be playing 4 quarters in two weeks. Oh well.

By definition he was “defenseless.”
However, there was not forcible contact to head and neck. He hit his chest. Fitz’ head came forward, which lead to incidental contact between face masks.

No it wasn’t. There was no tackle made. It was illegal contact.

Incidental contact is not forceable contact

You keep saying he went in high, and that is the problem. However, if he had lowered his head, that would have been targeting. You can't have it both ways.

Yes Because he stopped short of Taking him all the way to the ground...actually softening the impact with his other arm.... I really didn’t expect to see anyone defending the call after seeing this. Clearly those who do are seeing what they want to see.

Now that you admit it is targeting, you can work on changing the NCAA defenseless player definition.



Defenseless player is only a precondition for the call. He did not have forceable contact to the head or neck area which negates Targeting but not a late hit/PF/roughing the passer. If you look he hit him squarely in the chest area.

i agree. That is how forcible can be defined in the rule itself.

I think the call was bullshite but this angle is not close to being the best

Any idiot could argue that the helmets just collided off of each other

Just watch the fricking play in real time it's obvious in live action
