re: Is this not the definition of targeting?

It's unfortunate you're upset but this is the last effort I can make to help educate you on how the rules have changed. I know there's been a lot of confusion around the new targeting rules but hopefully this helps. Targeting on a non-defenseless player must be contact with the apex (meaning very top) and a small 6" circle drawn around that top. It's for the tackler's protection not the runner. Practically speaking you have to lower your helmet and "spear" the runner with the very top to get a call this year. You may not like the change but you'll have to take your grievance up with the NCAA.

With multiple camera angles and HD replay, a team of professionals with the rules at their fingertips decided you're wrong. See the below link. I'm viewing this impartially and objectively based on the rule changes... This impacts your team and therefore your judgement is biased. I'll also note that I haven't lived in the southeast since I was a child so have literally zero interaction with GA/TN fans nor do I care about the outcome of a GA/TN game.

Long Targeting Rule Change Explanation

Personally I think that targeting should go out the window when the offensive player is lowering his helmet and diving/falling forward. Nearly impossible to hit someone that low without lowering the helmet. Crazy how much these rules have changed the game and continue to cause confusion.
