We all know that could have bee called either way, if called against Texas, ASU would clearly have had an opportunity to make a relative easy game winning FG.

I still don’t understand how that was not targeting. Even the rules expert on the call was expecting it to be called

It was a political no call.

They were scared to affect the game with the call. But it did affect the game.

Would love to hear the reason for not targeting. Looked text book targeting to me.

By what rules? I did not see targeting. In no form of CFB should that have been targeting. I can see that because I got no dog in this hunt

Exactly. This logic is terrible every time someone uses it. The refs are absolutely affecting the game negatively when they fail to make calls when an infraction happens.

Also, it makes no difference at what point in the game the infraction happened. A foul is a foul.

It was clearly targeting….but UT brings a lot bigger audience and more money than ASU. It’s a business.

I say we hold these clowns accountable. I want records of all calls with post game analysis.

Targeting by definition requires intent. It was a good no call and the rule needs to change to require actual intent.

His intent was to lead with his head to make the tackle. It’s targeting. He made no effort to get his head out of the way. That Taafe dude is dirty. He pulled off Skat’s helmet earlier in the game and tried to trip an ASU receiver on one of their TDs.

Yeah, Texas with their one national championship this century is always getting the benefit of the doubt.

I was driving so I didn't see it, but everybody on the radio broadcast was sure it was targeting.
