re: So the Alabama targeting play last night

Shoulder to the head and nearly knocked him out.

He used his shoulder. Just because he puts his head down to toward the ground doesnt mean he's leading with the crown of his helmet. He hit with his shoulder. It was a solid hit that was timed perfectly. This is why you fair catch it. If not you're open to get laid down by someone running from 40 yards out straight at you. Just because a hit is hard or it hurts another player doesn't mean it's targeting. Targeting penalty should be called when it's absolutely obvious someone was targeting. This dude was not. I'm not even sure if his helmet even hit the State players helmet.
