Game's still early. Let's get greedy.

Simply Nate Hall y'all.

Let's try three picks and see if he lives up to it.

Jobbed on the targeting as the ball carrier lowered his head. He will be out the first half next week

While a BS call, don’t mind a little “forced rest” for Hall. Hopefully the Illinois game is in hand at halftime so he doesn’t have to play at all.

Agreed, he's a little dinged anyway, the "forced" rest is probably a good thing. TERRIBLE call though.

I really wish they would change that rule. It has good intentions, but is always applied wrong. It’s unfair to kick a kid out of a game for making a tackle at full speed.

Agree 100%. I’ve long thought that referees should be allowed to consider intent upon review for targeting. The NCAA is trying to eliminate intentionally dangerous plays, don’t penalize defensive players for the speed of the game. Give the 15 yards for a personal foul, fine, but don’t kick out the defensive player without malicious intent.

I’m got retweeted by Nate himself for this:


Looks like he’s a bit salty about the call too.

We have been subject to a few of those bad targeting calls over the last couple years. I have to think that is a rule that needs to be looked at .

Nate Hall plays ball.

This. It requires the player to make an effort to not target, which Hall clearly did by turning his should and back toward the ball carrier, while preserving the penalty if the effort is unsuccessful.
