Stats how Alabama is blessed with targeting calls; even in the games they don't play...

quote:

---

Four different SEC Referees ejected the best or near best defender for Alabama’s opponent ... for Targeting.

I don't know. Maybe those guys should stop...targeting.

Sound familiar?

I'm not sure how may targeting calls there have been this year but last year there were 27 in the SEC.

quote:

---

[In 2017] The SEC confirmed 27 instances of its players being flagged for targeting but declined to provide details of five calls not reported on play-by-play sheets or by the media. In all, the AP could not account for seven targeting penalties out of the 188 reported by the NCAA. source

So, is it unusual that 4 targeting calls would benefit Alabama more than it might benefit other teams? Let's work with some numbers...

To make the math a little simpler, let's say there are 28 targeting calls this year in the SEC. (This is a working assumption. I don't know the actual stats. But 27 was 2nd most out of any conference last year; so, 28 might be high and would make the math conservative here when we start dividing.) Let's assume further that NO MORE calls benefit Alabama for rest of the season (even though we've only played 2/3 of the regular season games so far). If we go with these assumptions, by the end of the season 4 out of 28 targeting calls, or 1 out of 7, would directly benefited Alabama in one game OR the next game. That would leave 24, of 6 out of 7, for the other 13 schools to divvy up. 24 divided by 13 would be a little shy of 2 per school, assuming that these were called somewhat evenly. That said, some schools might have 3 called on opponents while others have 1.

What is striking, though, is how (1) the players called in these Alabama cases are TOP players on their respective teams, and (2) the timing of these calls benefit Alabama (in first quarter of game against Alabama, so players miss 3/4 of the game, of the very end of the prior game, meaning players miss a guaranteed 1/2 of the game).

So, what are the chances that a team benefits from FOUR ejections AND that all four are TOP players AND that the timing is such that the game time missed is MAXIMIZED.

Also, remember that my math was conservative here. Alabama could have 1 more called in their favor (to make it 5) and there might be fewer than 27 this year (let's say 25)...then we could get numbers like 5/25 (1/5) or 4/24 (1/6) benefiting Alabama.

So...do we have smoke here?

Or did I just have a bunch of fun playing the crazy, obsessed LSU fan?

None of the Bama trash want to even discuss the reality of the OP!



Muh conspiracy theories
Muh that player wasn't good enough to begin with
Muh you are wrong because I say you are wrong

Let's resort back to the OP

Well show me where they weren’t targeting and Bama got the benefit of the doubt.

Good stuff, but this is a useless place for it. This board is filled with LSU fans and other SEC school fans who also hate LSU. They do not represent their entire fanbase, though. I have aggie friends who are true fans and hate Alabama because of shite like this. They actually care about the well being of their school. You won't find that here though.

Everyone but Alabama fans should look at this as (at the very least) interesting, but they won't here. Keep up the good work, though.

Record books wont have a single mention of D.White in 50 years. Only that on November 3rd, 2018 L8U lost their 8th game in a row to the eventual Champs of '18, and the GOAT college team Alabama by the largest margin ever in Death Valley.

Was also ejected against for the same foul against Northwestern State. I'm sure the REC was in on that too?

Incredibly egregious targeting call

His coach disagrees with you...

quote:

---

The first-year coach of the Vols instead pointed to the poor technique Bituli used in delivering a helmet-to-helmet hit on Auburn running back Malik Miller with less than two minutes left in the game and the Tigers in desperation mode down two scores.

quote:

---

"The targeting rule is here to protect our game, and not only is it to protect the players that get hit, but it's also something to protect the guys who deliver the hits," Pruitt said during his Monday press conference. "I don't think in any way was Daniel trying to hurt the guy, but his technique was he had his eyes down, and as he approached the ballcarrier, the guy kind of slumped down and they did hit head to head. Coaching point for him and the rest of our team, and it'll help protect him as you always need to keep your eyes up when you're tackling.
