I just now saw the LSU targeting penalty and the comparable Bama play and LSU got fricked... That's not targeting and not even close to it. These refs suck.

Yes, this didn't need a new thread

I think everyone can agree the targeting rule is flawed and enforcement of it is all over the place.

Until "Targeting" is more objectively defined by the NCAA, there cant be enough of these threads.

Tell that to Ed Orgeron.

He admitted it was targeting yesterday.

It wasn't a hard hit, but it qualifies as targeting under the current rule. I agree that they need to change some parts of it.

They just need to go back to the personal foul 15 yard penalty with no ejection on the first hit. Just do the player ejection if there’s a second personal foul on the same player in the same game. No player suspension for the next game or next half.

Bama has been screwed on these as well. Sorry that I don’t remember the players, or the games, or the circumstances. I moved on and didn’t cry about it or contribute to a billboard.

To each his own, I guess.

But did he flail his arms wildly in a pathetic attempt to beat a downed player?

The best example is the hit on Speedy Noil in 2016. It's inexplicable.

Bama is special, you have to remember. They're the only school who's alumni can fire SEC refs for not toeing the line.
