lead with shoulder, knocked the crap out of him. Good football play, very questionable football rule.
Can’t hit above the neck. Good rule or bad rule, you just can’t do it. Easy call.
Why wasn’t the hit on UGA’s QB targeting? Basically the same thing.
By the letter of the law, it was targeting. Forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless player. But I hated it because the DB was aiming for his chest and the guy fell to where his head was level with his shoulder right as he hit. I wish targeting was not automatic ejection. It should be like the NFL and not be an ejection unless it’s egregious.
I wasn't watching on that one. But judging by the group text blowing up, the refs missed it.
Agree. It's gotta be called as long as it is a rule. That one clearly checked the boxes necessary. My issue is that there's no room for evaluating if the defender had any other reasonable options. While that qualified as targeting, I'm not sure there was any other way he could have made that play without giving up on a tackle. When that's the case, ejection is overly punitive.
He will wear down. Just pound on his ***. What's hurting GA is their Center. Ole Miss has to get a stop on this next series.
Well then, the Stockton got "targeted" as well.
It was a defenseless hit call. Same should have been called with the hit on Stockton, it was even more violent.
Yeah. They missed a facemask & a hit out of bounds against UM on the same play earlier too. Very inconsistent officiating.
You’ve never played or coached defense. You literally can’t tell him what he did wrong. Remember the play happened in less than half a second. It’s impossible for him to have done it differently.
I agree man, the rules experts on here will trip over themselves explaining how a targeting call was correct. But fail to see how a non-call should’ve also been targeting based on their same criteria.
That's a problem with the rule, not the officiating. The rule gives no room for considering whether a player could have tackled differently or not. It's stupid but you can't argue that officials should ignore calls when they don't agree with how the rules are written. That just leads to chaos.
Targeting is a terrible rule. It’s football. It’s a violent game. The risks are well known by now. If you are playing the game you have accepted the risk by definition. If you don’t want the risk, don’t play.
It’s implied by how many agree with the ruling of the targeting call but fail to point out the missed non calls.
Man this OM coaching staff is not it.
Back to the game. Is Joe Judge the coach or Golding? They showed Judge again after the stupid fourth and short call that failed miserably. I thought Charlie Weis Jr was calling the plays.
Lunged with the crown of the helmet on a defenseless player (QB no less). Same play but more violent and more intentional.
If your argument hinges on “parralex issues” you’ve already lost
I really think the SEC doesn’t have a great team this year. Georgia is the closest, but they have flaws. Their beatdown of Alabama doesn’t look quite as impressive as it did after what Indiana did to them. The Big 10 looks like they’ll have a third straight champion, with three different teams.
The biggest game yall have had in a long time and you are HERE? Good Lord you have serious issues. Hopefully they can find a treatment for you.
RIDICULOUS!
He turned to hit him with his shoulder and the other defender was dragging him down at the same time.
Impossible to change your target line and momentum at that point
OM is winning. Book it. Other than the scoop and score and a couple missed tackles, they’ve dominated the lines. UGA can’t get any pressure on passing plays. Start cheering for Miami now.
