I have to agree with the game commentators regarding targeting

Knight-who-says-ni Walk-on

10:16am

It should simply be a 15 yard penalty. No disqualifications.

Indy Coug

10:16am

How about 15 yards and 1 point is awarded to the opposing team?

Not on the first offense but I’d be cool if it was on the 2nd and never carry a

That’s not the type of penalty that you have for a rule that you don’t want to get broken

KYU

so guilty player penalty is 15 yards, the other players penalty is a concussion?

Yea it’s really simpl…concussions can ruin peoples lives and somebody thinks that you should get a 15 yard penalty. SMH

No one is doing this intentionally. And I don't know that the ejections are

Some are unintentional but others are clearly not.

I simply don't believe that any are intentional, really. We slow mo them and say

Get rid of face masking rules too. They’re silly and 100% unintentional every

Used to be a 5 yard “incidental” version and 15-yard version for grabbing and pulling or twisting with it. That works

If you got rid of the facemask rule players would intentional try to grab it...

Players absolutely like to hit the opponents hard. I don't think they are hoping

Oh they definitely want to knock that player out of the game. They don’t want to cause permanent injury but for th game

Hard disagree, the rule has had a profound effect on hits

Natgasboy

Exactly, the rule changes have clearly had an effect. It will take longer.

It’s dangerous and reckless. For both players. Former players have killed

DQ is a bit much, yet does seem like more than a simple personal foul infraction

Targeting is potentially serious. I’d vote out for 15 minutes the first

VACougMD

I think it needs to be a little different than a common unnecessary roughness

SUAVO

There should be two levels of targeting

DrewGundy

There should definitely be levels of severity. Like if the offensive player

BYU Sportz Fan

Is us worth 20 yards to a team to take out a player on the other team?

travelcoug

10:19am

Dirty teams bent on taking out another player aren't going to do it via the act of targeting

Knight-who-says-ni

7:11pm

Completely agree. They can always eject someone if they feel it was malicious

Crowd Factor

I hate trying to judge intent. Makes it way too subjective

cougaman

10:23am

The point of having it be a disqualification is to prevent players from doing it

I think anyone thinking that players intentionally do this just don't understand

In high school there is no automatic ejection for targeting, and I can tell you

You make a good point.

From the stadium view it didn’t look that bad

RockyBalboa

In the replay his head snapped hard left, so definitely there should be a stiff penalty to targeting like that

Knight-who-says-ni

The one yesterday was totally avoidable. Don’t blame the rule and excuse the one

How about base ejection on severity. That one was a basic

It's dangerous for both players. It's tough to see ejections, but prob prudent.

Even a second infraction shouldn't be a full game suspension, maybe a quarter or even a series..

Is ejection what is keeping it from happening, though? You think Manu simply

The penalty for forgetting needs to be severe.

Players get knocked out because of plays like that…

BulldogCoug79

Make it 25 yards, with no 1/2 the distance to the goal crap, and I’m on board

AlternateShot

11:18am

So if it the ball is inside the 25 yard line the penalty phase is a TD is awarded?

Knight-who-says-ni

11:33am

Yes. That’s my preference. But if not that, then the 2 yard line.

It should have multiple levels of severity, not just one catch-all.
