re: Wilson Hit Not Illegal

Joshua Perkins is drunk. He's not making any sense.

So here’s the play by Mack Wilson that fans are saying should also have been targeting. He does lead with his helmet and his arms wrap around th qb, but it’s clear his helmet hits the qb first. Here’s why it’s not targeting

---

He's making the case for targeting.

Mack’s helmet hits the qb under the chin and in the shoulder pads, which is perfect form for that hit. Mack lifts his head up so he isn’t striking the qb with the crown of his helmet (which by rule would be targeting). Very hard hit but not targeting.

---

What on God's green earth is he watching? Dude does not lift his head.

Also, I've learned targeting isn't just helmet to helmet or head/neck area. It's just hitting with the crown of the helmet which Wilson does (see LINK)

Bama gets away with it, LSU doesn't...it just sucks.

Defending a blatant target by an Alabama player on in an LSU forum

Seems legit.

My question is if devin left his feet and laughed himself how is he still standing at the end of the play.

Agree.
But what I think you meant was . . . . .

Bama gets away with targeting.
LSU is flagged for targeting on a clean play.

That sucks!

The collar bone is the base that provides support for many of the muscles of the head and neck.
Anyone that says the collar bone is not part of the head and neck is simply ignorant.
No collar bone and your head flops around.

End of discussion.

No one is saying that hit is illegal according to the letter of the rule. EVERYONE is saying that if, according to the rule, DW's hit was illegal, then the Wilson hit was also illegal.

Neither was an illegal hit. It's just being used as an example to cast light on the fact that SEC officials do not consistently enforce the rules.

---

I don't think either was illegal.

In the case of Wilson he "forceably struck" the chest, QB's head rolled forward, making contact with Wilson's helmet. Helmet, crown included, was incidental.

In Devin's case I don't thing the helmets even fricking touched. The forceable contact was with his hands, in the chest. The only contact to head or neck area was Devin's forearm under the facemask. Also incidental. Fitzpussy's head never even rocked, as series of stills on this board shows that.

was it closer to targeting than White hit?
Which one was called Targeting and which one wasn't?

---

Wilson's was definitely closer. The crown and his facemask did make contact (which is what I'm calling incidental and non-forceable).

The Gump hit on UT WR Byrd was most definitely targeting, crown to crown on defended (as opposed to defenseless) player. Period. Refs didn't even flinch.

USCw Gustin was launching, crown, to head, defenseless, late. It fit every rule in the book. Not called.

Your collar bone is not in your neck.

But is it in the neck area?

quote:

---

Was a clean hit. Vicious, but clean.

---

Nope. Lead with his head with forcible contact to the neck area of a defenseless player.

That’s targeting.

quote:

---

All you people saying Wilson hit UT QB in the neck are blind. My goodness. Pretty clear it's the chest and a legal hit

---

You are an idiot. Stop the video. The crown of his helmet is right in the QB's neck and touching the helmet. If White's hit is targeting, this is most certainly targeting.

Ban this troll

Face masks touched. Feet were coming off the ground, and he was thinking "hurt the QB ". The thought should be a penalty the same with them the same as it is with everyone else.
