Let's argue for the sake of it that it was indeed targeting. Even if it would have been called correctly on the field, what exactly would have changed? Turner would have been ejected for the remainder of the game to be certain, but Jayden Daniels would have remained on the sidelines with Nussmeier starting in his place. It's not like LSU was robbed of 15 free yards off a penalty because roughing the passer was indeed called on Turner.
What exactly are we arguing here? You can say the refs missed a call but its impact on the game would have been negligible if they had called it correctly. Daniels would have remained injured targeting or no targeting. I just don't see how it would have mattered.
I don't think anyone is arguing that the game was won or lost on the targetting no-call.
It was an illegal hit which injured a player. People are mad about that and want the offending player punished as per the regulation.

All other points made by either side are background noise.
Alabama fans’ argument at its core is “well, even if it was targeting, it didn’t affect the outcome.” This is why, used in conjunction with Alabama’s fan base, the term rational discussion is oxymoronic.
The real reason last Saturday night’s game turned out like it did is LSU simply beat itself. Except for that, despite pass interference calls not made against the Tide, the obvious targeting call not made, LSU would have won. We beat ourselves.
