You mean the same refs that called TD instead of 5 yd penalty when an ASU O-linemen bearhugged Skatterboi and tossed him into the endzone...that same crew? Idk what to tell you other than this..
We're 3 rounds deep into the playoffs, your team is in full off-season mode lol.

Good gracious, dude! It’s frickin football, not something to go to war or take a life for. Some of y’all are REALLY due for an off-season to cool off.

Shouldn't have gone to overtime, junior. Biggest hose job I've seen in a long time.

If the player has enough time to turn upfield, how are they defenseless?

I agree with this. Minor dip of the chin so he didn’t hit facemask first. No time to go lower. No launch. No crown of helmet. People think all head to head contact is targeting. It’s not. They need to calm down before they make the rules even more stupid.

The fix is in for tx. Shocker
Too many people cry like bitches when the team they pull for doesn't win. You look like pussies.

Irrelevant by rule. Defenseless player (check), hit to the head or neck (check) equals targeting.

If that wasn't targeting, then targeting doesn't exist. Get rid of it. They obviously don't know to call

lol This was a defenseless player. Keep in mind this is in super slowmo and still obvious.

If tweet fails to load, click here. "However, if a player is defenseless, you can’t initiate contact above the shoulders, even if you don’t lead with the crown.
Players are also prohibited from targeting and making forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless player with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder."

Is anybody else surprised that Texas fans don't know the rules and they are on here acting like they are experts.
You can't hit a defenseless player in the head or neck.
Doesn't matter if the defender uses the crown, can't help it.... or any of that other stuff or any of the other stuff Texas fans are saying on this thread.
The only way that wasn't targeting is if the ref had a different view of that play and Taffe actually didn't hit him in the face with his helmet.
The view they showed on replay didn't allow us to see any depth perception.

Definition of Targeting
Targeting occurs when a player uses any part of their body, typically the helmet, to make forcible contact with an opponent's head or neck. This includes:
Launching into an opponent with a hit to the head or neck area.
Using the crown of the helmet (the top of the helmet) to strike an opponent.
Forcibly hitting a defenseless player in the head or neck area, even with the shoulder, forearm, or hands.
The key aspect of the targeting rule is protecting players from high-impact hits to the head or neck, which can cause concussions, spinal injuries, or other life-threatening conditions.
Hit wasn’t avoidable and wasn’t especially forceful. We really don’t need ncaa to beef up this rule even more to meet the ridiculous standards yall are preaching.

And the defender lowers their head to they make contact with the crown. That’s targeting
Go pull those confirmed targeting calls and AGAIN you will see and HEAR announcers and "rules officials" telling everyone that it doesn't have to be with the crown of the helmet.

If tweet fails to load, click here. You picked the worst camera angle. You’re welcome for better ones. If the receiver has time to secure the catch and turn up field, they aren’t defenseless. Good no call.

Correct. If the defender launches, it’s targeting as well. This isn’t hard.

It's not like you guys weren't warned.
Now this conference is stuck with them. Damn shame.
