Still hit helmet to helmet. Rule was enforced correctly. The rule may be too broad, but it was still handled by the book.

I don't like the automatic ejection rule, but the kid absolutely lowered the crown of the helmet, which did him no favors in the review, regardless of where contact was made. It was borderline, but I think they had to uphold the call on the field based on that.
As poor as the officiating was tonight and has been previously, I still believe Pac 12 refs are the worst.

That was text book targeting in my opinion. Helmet to Helmet on a defenseless receiver.
That's insane. He led with his shoulder and has totally pulled up.
I thought it was a targeting penalty, but I didn't expect them to eject him. I guess the rule is the penalty doesn't stand if the player isn't ejected. Kind of odd.

The first contact in the hit was head. All 3 players clashed heads. Whether he intended to or maybe he was pulling up as you say doesn't matter. That would bring in a million gray areas impossible to officiate.

helmets hit first, and you can see that on 2/3 of the replays.
