Hate that targeting call. We've been burned twice this year, and I understand the desire to protect players, but come on. Let them play.

Dumbest rule change ever. We don't need more judgement calls. This will have no affect on head injuries. you cannot stop in mid air. Sorry
I believe the Nole fan was saying the call was bad - which it was. Targeting is supposed to be in place to reduce intentional head shots. I saw one a while ago in the UVA - SU game. Then in the Michigan game the refs totally blew a call by calling targeting when a player was pushed into the MSU QB. It was total crap. Keith turned his head and was leading with his shoulder. There was head contact but it sure as heck wasn't targeting.
It is a very inconsistent on the call from game to game. Calloway from,UF should have been called for targeting based on other calls over the weekend. The rule was setup with good intentions, but doesn't work.
Yeah, if a targeting call is made and it is intentional, the book should be thrown at them. Sometimes we go overboard, but for the most part it was a great game! Dang that was a @$$ whoopin we took! It'll get better, very youthful kids and experienced both teams!
One of the 9,000 games last night the talking heads started bitching about all the targeting calls, and one said the NCAA was going to "have to' change it because of the arbitrary calls and that it's changing the outcome of games.
It's just part of the move to ban FB altogether. The pointy heads won't be happy until they ban everything from Roller Skating to Soccer.
