The target call is ruining the game. Defenders don't have a chance.... the laws of physics still apply.

frick targeting, let them play! If its a dirty hit fine, those are easily recognizable.. tackling someone 3 inches to high isn't targeting, but it is often called. It's BS.

It is bad coaching, to be honest.

Keep your head up and you probably will never have to worry.

It isn't a shocker that the best team in tackling (UGA) does not struggle with dropping our head. We get our head across the defender with eyes up.

They should have an exception for the targeting rules when players are trying to fight for extra yards or fall forward/dive. Impossible to tackle in a situation like that without meeting the pad level of the offensive player and it would eliminate weird melts like this one.
