Oh, is that how he got that cut on his face? By a hit not to"the head and neck area?" GTFOH.

ETA - he actually hits him in the armpit.
Serious question. Are you retarded?

frick UCF with a cactus. We should have run the score up and left no doubt. Don’t let them take any positives away from the game at all. I don’t often agree with Orgeron, but he was absolutely correct here. If that’s not targeting, then the rule is too arbitrary and should be changed.
It is targeting. The rule was displayed on the game and it clearly states a QB on a turnover is considered a defenseless player. That 91 lunged at Burrow and yes, that is a fricking penalty. Did you go back and watch Burrow's run on LSU's first drive? That was a TD. He extended the ball over the white line before his elbow touched the ground. Should have been called a TD and should have been reviewed.

It was not legal. And no, any fan who would watch that over and over has never played the game. It was senseless and unnecessary to lunge at a defenseless QB on a turnover. I don't care if was reversed, I'd still call it a chickenshit move!

The foul is only if you hit a guy who is out of the play. Burrow is giving chase. Hard to argue he's out of the play.
Actually, a QB is defined as a defenseless player in college anytime following a possession change.

I agree the hit was shady, but it's a hit that you cannot currently cover in the rules. Meanwhile, BS like Delpit's hit is "textbook" targeting.
I basically agree that the worse hit seemed like the hit against Burrow, but the way the rule is written, Delpit's hit is seen as an automatic ejection and that is stupid.

His left shoulder hit Burrow's right shoulder first. Burrow's head comes forward from the hit and hits 91's helmet.
After watching it multiple times, that guy was so massive and the hit was so physical that there was actually contact to multiple parts of Joes body. There was contact to his shoulder and armpit. But that wasn’t nearly all- as the hit continued to reverberate through Burrow, there was contact to his neck and their helmets also connected. That’s the part of the blow that caused the cut on Joe. It definitely could have been called targeting.

It was a good, solid, clean hit. And, he was moving towards the DB who had just intercepted the pass. I don't see how you can fault the guy for throwing that block.
Poor officiating is really starting to ruin watching a game. Specially the misapplication of the targeting rule.

Yes, the rule just says any head or neck contact and doesn't specify if it's secondary contact. Also, it says when in doubt, the play should be called targeting. Based on the spirit of the rule, it should have been a pretty easy call to make on the field.

Legal shoulder to shoulder hit.
Part of the game. Burrow handled the way it’s supposed to be handled.
This is fricking football.

The frick we would....not a DT on a QB

No matter what anyone says about the Burrow hit! If the goal of the call is to “protect the player” then that hit was the definition of harming a player.
They gotta fix their shite!

Good point. The taunting happened before he crossed the goal line. TD should've been called back. They took back a pick 6 for taunting in the Ia st wash st game.

There was one angle that showed it as targeting. Helmet to helmet. Led with the crown.

Nah. He hit his chin with his helmet as he crushed a Burrow into the Turf. Hit was ok, follow through wasnt

Wow anybody that thinks that was an illegal hit is a retard
Posted on 1/1/19 at 9:34 pm to Tesla
I'm fine with it though. Burrow looked motivated as hell afterward
Posted on 1/1/19 at 9:35 pm to pellietigersaint
The question is was he a defenseless player? The rule says a qb is always a DP after possession but are they referring to after a handoff or completed pass?
Was burrow still “defenseless” after the pick?

Much closer to a targeting penalty than the Devin White call.
