I think it's usually the "players" who quit after 9th grade who are the big authorities on "targeting"
you know it, because spearing has been a penalty forever, and these douchebags don't fricking know what that means

So how exactly do you dive in on a guy trying to push over the line with your shoulder that low WITHOUT lowing your head.

Where was the runners head when the defender made his mind up to attack the runner at that particular angle? Only one person on this earth knows and it ain’t some desk jockey looking at a replay 52 times in a row.

People like you are ruining the greatest sport on earth. How anyone can rally behind unintentional helmet to helmet hits as an ejection and penalty is mind boggling.
Players are running full speed, shifting, juking, jiving, lunging, ducking, etc. and a helmet to helmet hit is sometimes unavoidable.
A non-malicious, non-intentional hit should NEVER be penalized. It defies logic to penalize and eject. Some of you fricks should take up soccer.

His helmet hit the ball,
Huh? Didn’t even remotely happen. His helmet hit the QB in the side of the head while his shoulder hit him squarely in the neck.

it's sad you think that's "proof" of anything
it's fans like you who will end up destroying this game
"textbook targeting"? There's no such thing as "targeting". There's been such a thing as spearing forever.
Have fun helping destroy the game.

That's not what a targeting call requires.
The rule is there to protect the tackler as mucb as the runner.
The tackler can suffer neck and spine injury using the crown if his helmet.
Doesn't have to be helmet to helmet.

Yeah, there’s an actual written rule about it. Nobody said I liked it. But we can call a spade a spade, by the rules that are written. Whether or not the rule sucks arse isn’t being discussed here.
At least two of these qualifiers were met on that play.
2022 NCAA Rulebook 9-4-1 Note 1
Note 1: “Targeting” means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball. Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to:
• Launch. A player leaving their feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area.
• A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground.
• Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area.
• Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet.

No need trying to explain anything to these idiots.
They can't comprehend anything.

I think they’re mostly just emotional, and it would be much worse if they had lost.
The rule is actually fairly black and white now, exponentially more well defined than when it was initially implemented over a decade ago. Yeah, I think it could be improved dramatically, but there is a clearly defined rule and that rule was clearly broken.

The defensive player shouldn’t be penalized for the offensive player falling into his helmet. Or getting tight to take the impact hit.

I comprehend that the rule needs major revision to save this sport. There is laying wood to a defenseless player over the middle. And then there is a guy trying to make a defensive football play at the goal line at the end of overtime and being punished for it.

Personally, I’m always upset by misapplication of this rule. I was pissed when the Clemson linebacker got tossed against my alma mater in the dome in January 2020. They just expect players to make a decision in a millisecond that is impossible to make without being invisible.

This is a fair argument, and I think the rule implementation - although much better than it was initially - still has a ways to go.

You dumb frick.
We understand the rules. We are saying that the logic behind the rules, why the rules were even originated, and the enforcement of said rules comes from a suit and tie originator and defies common sense and logic.
People like yourself that take things lying down are why this country is in the mess that it's in and why football is being ruined right before all of our eyes. Take your sanctimonious post and shove it up your arse.

You definitely do not speak for OP. Most of us have said we don’t like/agree with the rule. But it’s the rule.

Maybe you should consider better glasses.
