You're not familiar with physics or the human body.

Dan didn't make contact to his head and the big12 last year is irrelevant. It's not targeting it wasn't called targeting, go dawgs

His head is gonna pop back. He got hit hard. Happens all the time and why sometimes they throw a targeting flag and have to pick it up when they see targeting didn't occur on replay.


You can tell the helmets collide by looking at that video.

While I get it's a rule, have you ever seen them call a player for lowering their helmet if they hit a player in the, chest, back, etc? It's almost always when heads collide or the neck area. And players do it all the time.


I think they want players to see what they’re hitting so they can avoid the head. I don’t agree with the rule, it’s just my interpretation of it.

What do you mean even then it was a clean hit? The rules are way more stricter today. Not back then. It probably was clean back then. It definitely isn't today. You don't lower your helmet and put the crown of it into Someone Else's Facemask

Quit crying already. You're bleeding all over the board. I gave you multiple calls that went against UGA but you just keep bleeding all over the place

Lmfao. It wasn't a reaction of momentum following a chest hit you complete buffoon. It was direct contact from the helmet to the facemask, regardless if it also hit the chest. You'd have to be an imbecile to think otherwise

No video shows a hat on a facemask. They'd have to have proof that he did it to call it from upstairs. They don't.

Wild I played less than a decade ago and even then this was a clean hit. Lowest man wins. Helmet ain't popping out he's getting down to make a solid tacole


It's been a penalty called spearing since the 1970s in the NFL, not sure college footballs exact line, but it was spearing in high school too.

I'm looking at the video. And the refs are on the field watching the play. Live. In the video the top of his helmet is in line with his face mask. As soon as it makes contact, the gt helmet pops backwards. That is the first thing that moved After the contact. It's so blatantly obvious you'd have to be half retarded to think differently.

Well, it's all targeting now and it wasn't called for unintentional hits very often at all.

If it's blatantly obvious why is there no video? Why didn't the Tech coaching staff and King go nuts?

Explain why tech didn’t have two different targetings? Refs called it fair.

Not definitive like the 2 tech targets that went uncalled.

physics


Objects in motion tend to stay in motion. At initial contact, a runner's head will continue moving forward if contacted in the chest or torso. Same way your head goes backwards when you're hit from behind in a car.

I don't know if it was targeting or not but physics isn't the right argument against.

Get out of here dude nobody is calling that shite spearing in 1980 are you insane. There are so many videos of dudes launching themselves with their heads -that's truly targeting...this isn't even close
