What even is targeting at this point?

Anyone watching the Ole Miss vs Georgia game has to be as confused as I am how that was targeting. Right before the half.

I’ll post a video if anyone makes a snarky enough comment that hasn’t been watching.

It was a good call, You can't make contact the head/neck of a defenseless receiver

Same type of hit Jahron Manning was called for when he KO'd the Georgia TE

How many targeting calls were missed on Shapen then? The rule is gay af at this point because of the subjectivity.

Also, define hit. What if a defender’s hand glances off of the runner’s helmet? By the letter of the law that is targeting. I’m being facetious and I agree with the intent of the rule. But it’s so open to so much interpretation that it makes 99% of viewers confused af.

Why was he defenseless? He caught the ball and took about 3 steps before contact. A defenseless WR is one who "has not clearly become a ball carrier" after the catch.

It's kinda like waiting until the end the game to throw a flag for holding

But it was holding.

Probably payback for the missed facemask call on the OM RB directly in front of 2 officials. The UGA player almost ripped his neck in two. Not that I'm happy the Rebs won, but how do you miss that?
