I'm not joking. Targetting or not, this hit wouldnt have been overturned if it happened Monday.

This should show pretty clearly it wasn't targeting.

He step out of bounds before getting hit. If he hadn’t dropped the ball it would’ve been illegal touching.

I know that used to be the hard and fast rule, but I've seen a lot of "he re-established position in bounds" calls the last few seasons. Really seemed to start with Manziel and A&M, I remember watching a WR loop out of bounds against Mizzou, then come back in and catch a bomb.

If Harrison got both feet in before the ball arrived, they would call that good and a TD.

Uga team is dirty AF. Took out our best receiver who was destroying their secondary. I wonder how much NIL their player got for carrying out the bounty?

My Ohio State Buckeyes should be playing for the championship.

Depends on if he stepped out of bounds by himself or if he was forced out.

quote:

You can’t commit a penalty vs a player who’s not playing.

Really? That doesn’t seem correct.

There are so many unsportsmanlike penalties during fights called on players that where not involved in the play, or even on the field.

What would happen if a player ran onto the sidelines after a play and punched a player not even on the field? I mean, he isn’t on the field. No penalty huh?

No, a 15 yard penalty. And ejected.

To add to the “he was out of bounds” claim, he got pushed out by the DB. The rules say if a receiver gets pushed out of bounds by a defender he is allowed to come back in bounds immediately without penalty. Which is what happened.

At least learn the rules please.

It wasn’t targeting but you can certainly get a personal foul or targeting penalty after a play is dead.

The targeting was waved off...and why would he have gotten a personal foul? He hit a WR who was attempting to catch a pass? is that illegal, too?

I might also mention that Harrison stepped out of the field of play and reentered it to try to catch the pass, which happens to be illegal.

It wasn’t targeting. It was a ducking football play and that pussy couldn’t take it. frick Harrison- frick weak arse loser again Ohio st. A and frick you for being a pussy talking about the SEC and defending National Champs.

He was defenseless and knocked on conscious so it was obviously helmet to helmet. Not sure why they picked it up but Georgia got a couple calls i thought were iffy.

ventrell Miller's hit that got him targeting and many others this year were far less egregious but stood.

They probably reversed a handful of this all year, I bet I personally saw them reverse a dozen during bowl season

He isn’t wrong. And OP is also correct, despite how in bad taste this thread is, had that Harrison hit happened next week the targeting would have been confirmed.
