This defensive meltdown doesn't negate the non-targeting call.

The non targeting call was terrible. But even if it wasn’t called, it…

AZPTCOUG

7:05am

They would've had first down (not have to punt) and close to FG range with 1 min

jrifkin48

I thought they could have called targeting when ASU made the interception

Absolutely. The ASU player literally launches himself high into the players head. I was stunned when the rules

Incentivize

12:30am

I came to the same conclusion.

LifeLongLakerFan

12:31am

I did not. May not have been intentional, but the hit checked the blocks

jrifkin48

4:12am

Not right according to the rule on defenseless players. Crown, etc isn’t

bluesloth

12:36am

In my opinion, the rule is there to protect a player from getting injured. I think the fact that the guy’s laying there

KYU

12:42am

So they should throw out a flag every time someone gets injured?

cougaman

6:19am

Even on a defenseless player, there still has to be indicators present

StantonMac

12:46am

which is a ridiculous ruling cause he got him with the crown anyways

FieroCoug

1:15am

Can always count on an unbiased take from FieroCoug when OU or UT are involved…

reddead

1:17am

“targeting 100 times out of 100”

FieroCoug

1:19am

Talking heads need to have takes, but it’s not what the rules say

reddead

1:55am

his head, above the facemask, was the first thing to make contact. yes he

FieroCoug

2:09am

Yes, but that only matters if he makes contact with the crown (6 in from top)

reddead

2:22am

You're wrong.

dYrtbYkerYder

2:28am

You need to brush up on the rules. I linked the relevant rule for you below...

reddead

2:39am

Not on a defenseless player.

dtownCoug

6:27am

Doesn't have to be the crown. Forcible contact to the head and neck area is

RGGeemer

7:43am

He led with his helmet

CougarDanger

3:09am

That indicator includes an element of intent or purpose

reddead

3:30am

Not even close. The NCAA defines the crown as a 6” circle at the top of the helmet

cougaman

head wasn’t all the way down but it was down at contact.

And on defenseless player, doesn’t even have to be helmet to helmet. Can be

12:40am

Sounds like you are looking for reasons to not call it. The ref consultant

GSwarriorcoug

12:55am

It's been targeting all year

Mitty

1:11am

No it hasn’t. It wasn’t even targeting 5 min earlier in the same game (ASU int)

reddead

1:18am

in what world is back to chest the same as crown to face? would you rather

FieroCoug

1:20am

By “back”, I’m sure you mean “forearm and shoulder to the head/neck”. Link below

reddead

2:08am

at worst it was shoulder to shoulder. he did launch but it wasn’t head or neck

FieroCoug

2:10am

Not what I see. Look at the UT head movement here, and the ASU forearm extension

reddead

2:30am

I think that is the problem...it hasn't. If that exact play happens 100 times, it gets called 50 and no-called 50.

TheLoneCougar

7:57am

People seriously need to learn the rule better. First, you need to determine if

dYrtbYkerYder

1:52am

There still needs to be an “indicator” and I don’t think that’s as clear cut

VenomFarmer

He started to lower his head but it didn’t appear to be the crown of the helmet

icecougar

2:23am

THE HIT DOESN'T NEED TO BE WITH THE CROWN OF THE HELMET!!!

dYrtbYkerYder

2:30am

But it does need to have an "indicator" and crown of the helmet is one indicator

reddead

2:32am

That he led with his helmet.

CougarDanger

3:10am

Addressed above. Not clear that he led with the necessary purpose/intent

reddead

That he led with his helmet

al3124

4:37am

I like to look at these things scientifically. My conclusion? A targeting call

WallaX2

4:54am

Doesn’t need crown. whole purpose of the rule is to avoid that exact injury.

ImuaKahuku

5:27am

Apparently there are a lot of people who think that Big 10 refs willingly cheat for the SEC

Skeptical Optimist

6:13am

I think it is more likely that the refs didn’t have the guts to make the call

JoeExotic

6:21am

I think if they had an angle clearly showing forcible contact to the head they would have made the call

Skeptical Optimist

7:18am

The angles are clear IMO. Defenseless player got popped in the head.

JoeExotic

7:30am

I don't think that's clear - you can't see through his shoulder to see where his face mask hits first

Skeptical Optimist
