re: Bama player lays a hit on Bulldogs

It really isn't arguable, the player is within a yard when the catch is made. That isn't a judgement call, it's pretty definitive. Now whether or not it is targeting, that is debatable.

Actually, he led with the helmet and made contact directly to his facemask. Even if he didn't hit facemask, it's still targeting since the neck is also protected under the rule. So there is really no debate there either, two enforceable penalties on that play.
