By the book the play was an illegal hit.
I HATE the rule, but the right call was made.
In fact, I've seen less called.

Auburn has had people kicked out for a lot less, so much so that I thought this one was an easy call when I saw it.

At best, it is a questionable rule. However, based on the rule, it was called correctly.
I did not see anywhere if Coach Saban made any comments about it...

I'd hate to see someone with this temper be a fan of anyone besides Bama. Good thing his team is awesome.

It was a great shot, but by rule, it was targeting.
I was still like - "Whoooooooooooo" when I saw it happen though.

The outrage to me comes from the fact that not a single ref saw it on the field. Gary starts his "outrage" from the booth, and automatically, Al Ford, a known Barner from this region, stops the play and instigates the call from the booth. The player turned back into Brown, and lowers his helmet as well. It was a crap call by a crap official who should not have been calling the game at all, given his allegiance to one of the two competing schools.

But they're not supposed to make the right call because, ya know, Bama privilege

That was a very bad call. He didn't launch with his head. There might have been incidental contact of the helmets, but if that gets you ejected blockers and tacklers will start targeting the knees, which will cause significant long term damage.

Take a note from Jamal Adams. This is how you do it.
You can be mad at the rule, but you can't be mad at the ejection. Sorry.
No im sorry that can't be correct I've been told by countless fans that cut blocks are chicken shite

I will say it was pretty obvious it wasn't an intentional spear to the head...he was clearly leading with the shoulder in a fast moving play....but made helmet to helmet contact

This is all true, but I think the main problem with the call is the fact that the guy being blocked was actively involved in the play at the time. I'm not sure how he could possibly be a "defenseless player" while actively involved in the play, and being a "defenseless player" is a prerequisite for targeting to be called in this instance.

I think it's a good rule and a good call and not just because it's against bama.
We are learning more about chronic traumatic encephalopathy which helps us understand the importance of preventing it. These guys are so young and have such a life ahead of them beyond college! Why put them at risk for being a vegetable at 50 or a suicide victim in their 30s?
