re: Is this not the definition of targeting?

Agree to disagree.
Facemask down and the contact is the crown (top of the helmet).

Remember. This is to prevent neck injuries to the defender.

There's no "agree to disagree" here... you're viewing this through black and red glasses. The officials reviewed it and there are plenty of incredibly clear angles and photos of the hit. The NCAA clarified what the "crown" of the helmet is specifically so hits like this wouldn't be targeting.

If this is targeting then there would be 10-15 targeting penalties per game as runners fight for an extra yard or two at the end of runs.
