I'm quite aware of what a radius is. "Dropping your head" is not the definition of targeting, it is an indicator. Since you're having extreme difficulty we'll break this down fully one more time.

quote:
ARTICLE 3. No player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown of his helmet. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul. (Rule 9-6) (A.R. 9-1-3-I)

OK great. If the TN player made contact with the crown then the GA player certainly did. I note there's nothing in the definition about the player being a ball carrier or an offensive vs. defensive player.

Now let's look at the indicators.

quote:
Launch-a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area

Neither player.

quote:
A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground

Neither player

quote:
Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area

Both players lowered their pad level for the contact.

quote:
Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet

Both players did this and arguably the GA player got lower with the TN player just matching the pad level of the GA player.

So if you want this to be a penalty on TN, it's definitely a penalty on GA and they offset. If you're so convinced it was targeting, why do you think rules experts who do this professionally with HD replay disagree? Beyond this point I'll have to take it that you're being disingenuous for the purposes of pot stirring.

Since you went there, I didn't attend any SEC school but I won't badmouth their educational standards.
