It was called correctly. The officials could clearly see the USC player had no malice or bad intentions in his eyes.

The result of the hit, was more dangerous than most targeting calls.

Worst Miss I’ve ever seen right here.


I didn’t think the hit on Harrison was targeting.

If they really want to change behaviors, start calling it on the offense, too. I've never understood why they're immune from this penalty when they're equally if not more responsible for crown contact

Looks like facemask made contact with the pads first.

I read it.

As defined by the NCAA rulebook:

1. Launch — a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area

2. A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground

3. Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area

4. Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet
