Dallas Turner's hit was perfect according to NCAA rule book

Don't go bringing facts in the middle of a perfectly good melt.

Lane Kiffin is an LSU fan?

The driving makes it roughing. Targeting? Nah

If Dallas Turner ever needs an attorney, you can tell him how to consult one

Player tried to teabag him, he gave him an upper cut to the jewels. Maybe post what lead to that lmao

N he’s an idiot. I honestly by definition didn’t see targeting. I absolutely knew that once he landed on him with all his weight it would be roughing passer. They’ve been calling that for 20yrs. Whether you saw targeting or RP LSU was given a 15yrd penalty. If you don’t think Harold Perkins or any other LSU defender doesn’t want to hit an opposing offensive player hard enough to knock him out of the game you are being dishonest. That’s the name of the game, hit the guy in front of you hard enough he quits whether voluntarily or because it hurts makes no difference. I’d rather that hit than going into his knees to make sure he doesn’t escape.

Here's a GIF of the contact:

1. Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet

Did not use crown used his face mask. Did not lower head. Not applicable

Turner did lower his head slightly and hit Daniels facemask right above the 15 on his own helmet. Indicator 1 is present.

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

Did not lead with helmet. Placed his face mask into the opposing players upper chest, wrapped up in a form tackle and drove thru the player. Not applicable

---

The way Daniels' head jolts back proves there was forcible contact with the head or neck area. Leading with the helmet is a distraction here: this is a blow to Daniels' head. Indicator 4 is present.

Note 2 indicator 1 defines a passer in the act of throwing is a defenseless player.

So, by rule, you have a defenseless player hit in the head or neck area with the top of the defenders helmet. This meets the definition of targeting.

This is absurd. If someone is hit in the arse their head and neck will still move

Maybe, but it looks like legit forcible contact to his chin, which isn’t allowed.

No one’s ever going to agree on this, no one ever does. Very few targeting calls or ever agreed on by anyone that doesn’t have a vested interest. The truth is it’s an impossible rule to get correct 100% of the time. Some will see forcible contact with face mask and yes it’s to his chest but that happens all the time and targeting is not called. Toviano (25) by definition could have been called for targeting and wasn’t but no one cares. I certainly don’t. LSU was awarded the 15 yards. Prior to that nearly everyone is in agreement kicking players out of the game for a single incident when the game moves so fast is ridiculous.
