That's why the crowd was booing so loud.

Hall knew it immediately and asked the refs to look at it. I don’t understand

Hard to get that call on a runner. If the same hit was on a RB nobody thinks

Not saying I agree with targeting, but that was targeting.

But not the kind that is called/penalized very often.

It’s for sure a conflicting part of the game. Happens at the LOS every play.

Not really. But it almost always does. Just like the second “late hit out of bounds” penalty last week.

Using the crown (or top) of your helmet to tackle is targeting regardless of whether ball carrier is “defenseless” or

In the open field, yes. In a scrum?

BYU fans extra concerned because it was our QB & he's had concussion issues.

I don’t think they were in a scrum; I think it was one-on-one in the backfield. But regardless, what I was addressing is

I think we’re in agreement, more or less.

Defenseless player? Not at all. It was a designed QB draw, he had become a RB

TBH, we had a hit I thought could have been called targeting in the 4th. They
