re: Of all the frames, this one seems most telling...(yet some still defending the call!!!??)

I don’t even care about the hit at this point, you just come across as a total bitch.

You entitled bama bitches will soon comprehend the true definition of a melt in a couple weeks - 1st with approximately 1 minute left in the half when DW40’s backup will have an implied “all clear” to demonstrate to Tua the real definition of targeting, then by DW40 himself repeatedly on Hurts within the full limits of the rule in Q3 and 4 .

White’s left hand initially made contact with Fitzgerald’s chest up under Fitzgerald’s tucked non throwing arm, so in this picture (in op) is probably when he is withdrawing it as qb is falling down even though it may appear in picture to be coming up around or from under face mask.

QB’s throwing hand hit white’s Face mask and then his non throwing hand later hits white’s helmet, but haven’t seen white’s hands hit QB’s neck or head area yet.

Fitzgerald ended up short arming it, started to whip right side around, and shift weight back and to his left to avoid shifting weight forward into throw and to try to avoid leaving chest wide open for direct hit. He was protecting himself with how he threw it and in doing so along with his throwing hand hitting white’s face mask helped to initiate any incidental face mask contact between the two after White’s face mask initially hit his right front shoulder and grazed up as QB going down.

I don’t think there is conspiracy against LSU with call. I just think it a bad call or at least a poorly implemented rule, and any future game suspension should be based after looking at video after the game separately from call in game and assuming player is innocent. I can’t believe in deciding to have an in game personal foul penalty, an in game suspension, and a future suspension that this hit was want they had in mind.

Idiot...........Check.

So you can't touch the QB after the ball was thrown? Besides that wasn't the ruling anyway.

---

yes you can, just not around the head or neck area

It was part of the ruling.

So a photo now encapsulates a sequence of events and is considered proof?

Another poster that just ignores the rule.

It seems so. People keep talking about shite like inadvertently, tgat has no bearing on a call or non call.

They demonstrate their ignorance of the rule and then proclaim the rule wasn’t broken

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.

Don’t be a child. If he hit him completely below the shoulders we would have it both ways. Hell, hit him in the knees. Stay away from the friggin head! How hard is that to understand.

I don’t think White’s should be targeting, and I do think the Bama LB WAS targeting, but don’t act like this is impossible.

It’s bad tackling on a rushing QB known for faking a pass. Leaving your feet to go low is how you miss QB’s like him.
