Intervention Needed
Hate to break it to you, but it was targeting. As far as first and 10, it’s a
stupid rule, but that’s the rule.

That targeting call though.

I have not been more furious about a call in a long time. I couldn't even sit

One flag was during the play. That made it 1st and 10. Unsportsmanlike penalty
cougaman

Some years ago it would have been 1st and 25

So what happens if it is a dead ball (uc) penalty after a 2nd down play?

The headbutt should have been an ejection

Yup just like punching someone. He should have been gone.

True, but I was more bothered by the late hit and likely targeting on Algier...

What about the spit in the face?
Pretorian

No one saw that in real time. It was dirty, but the game was over then, so meh

Yep. Ellis delivered the nail in the coffin. It's why he let that sweet spit

I'm not disagreeing. It should be reviewable & punishable.

It met the definition. I thought Micah was trying to tackle appropriately, but the angle for him was a challenge
Bonoman
10/18/20 7:10am
It's not appropriate when you drop your head like he did. I don't think he was

Little guys have to tackle bigger players somehow. Hitting someone in the stomach that way shouldn’t be targeting
BYU '80

The rule isn’t that you can’t drop your head; it is that you can’t lead with the

So it was about 1 inch from the exact center therefore not the "crown" OK...

It was the earhole

You're the one nit-picking the call so don't get upset when someone responds in

I'm agreeing with what the officials called. I'd expect it to be called against

Could only be the crown of the helmet. Defenseless player applies to hits to

Just reviewed it again. It was a perfect form tackle. His head was in front of

It was really suspect. They act like there's a whole yard
SinkingQuffa
10/18/20 6:16pm
I thought that until I rewatched it. One angle looked bad.
HONOMO
10/18/20 8:47am
He lead with the side of his helmet not the crown. That’s not targeting
jkccoug
10/18/20 11:04am
The worst part was that they didn't eject the Houston player

The headbutt wasnt a hard hit. You guys are really reaching here.

Where in targeting rules does it say it needs to be s hard hit?

“Forcible contact”

Not the same. Even the Houston player thought he was getting tossed.

It wasn’t targeting. Plain and simple. It was unsportsmanlike conduct. You want

So many assumptions. You make me laugh.

The headbutt was not targeting, but I was surprised he wasn't ejected

The refs would have to consider it fighting. I thought t the nature of it was
cougaman
10/18/20 9:32am
Should have been ejected for the likelihood of causing a fight. They can toss on egregious unsportsmanlike conduct
BYU '80
10/18/20 10:59am
I thought it warranted ejection honestly. I'm a bit agnostic on the targeting on
bythenumbers
10/18/20 12:03pm
And Corbin Kaufusi got ejected for exactly the same thing several years ago.
pilot17
10/18/20 2:47am
When was this play? Was it after the play? Was he ejected for targeting?

I’d try and find it but I’m deployed and don’t have the time. Someone can look

I remember that play. That's is a late hit and hit to the helmet of a QB.
cougaman
10/19/20 9:04am
I honestly don't know the wording of the rule but I'm guessing a targeting call would come within the course of the play

He didn’t launch.

This is probably true.

What exactly was their penalty? should have been 3rd & 20+ but it was 1st &10
Pretorian
10/18/20 9:30am
Penalizing a team and player for endangering oneself is stupid enough in a violent sport
BYU '80

Honestly, we won. I don't care.

I shouldn’t have cared.

Any penalty granting the offense 1st and 10 is enforced last

The part that bugs me about it was that he wasn't even flagged for it. Why review it for targeting when they didn't even

Yes-a targeting call can be initiated by “the booth”, even when no flag was

Just a small correction, a PF is an automatic 1st down...so....

Frustrating to go from 3rd and 31 to 1st and 10, should have been 1st and 25.

10/18/20 10:00am
I agree it should, and the NCAA should make a change to that rule so it does.
cougaman
10/18/20 10:05am
Except any penalty that gives a team a first down is the last penalty imposed

And it should be changed because in this case it’s not logical
