I loathe the targeting rule...

But if that isn’t targeting, almost nothing is

Crown of the helmet to the head/neck area of a defenseless player. That was textbook targeting and could be used as a prime example of the penalty.

Forehead hit, not crown. Hard hit, but not targeting. I think they got that one right.

That's two guys I've seen knocked the frick out by helmet to helmet contact ruled no targeting.

Clownshow.

Of the rule is that the hit was not targeting so to the terminology. The rule needs to be changed. That had the same effect as what they are saying is crown of the head

They probably need to be able to call targeting/unnecessary roughness if they want. Then remove targeting to keep guys in but can keep the roughness call if they desire

It was targeting but they didn’t want to give Tulane 1st down on the 3 yard line…

They had the rule on the screen. Doesn't have to be crown of the helmet.

Has to be a hit to the head/neck area. It was a deliberate hit to the Tulane player's head.

Absolutely it was targeting.

How is that not targeting but Devin White shoving Nick Fitzgerald in the chest was?

Targeting at end of Michigan game.

Targeting knocking out OSU Harrison.

Targeting in Tulane game.

I agree. If these aren’t targeting, nothing is.

It’s amazing how refs call games different in bowls vs. regular season. Same as NFL and NBA.

Where was the money? What was the line in these games!

Yup seemed that the defender had his head up and made a hard hit to a ball carrier. But I've seen that called targeting so damn often why wasn't it this time? I've seen less hits than that get called as targeting.

This. The intent of the rule is to not hit with the crown of the helmet. Defender had his head up and hit with his forehead, top of the face mask. Hence, not targeting. Good no call IMO.

Crazy that people can make a judgement on a rule that they have never read.

Correct. These all should have been called, based on what had been called in the past.

Either call it consistently, or get rid of it.

That wouldn’t be a defenseless receiver in that situation
