Exactly, we won on the next play. Yippee. This is not sour grapes.
But that's still fricking targeting. If that's not targeting, Kirby is going to unleash death squads of skull thumpers on people in the playoffs. Some people might even die. I don't want people to die, but if that's the rule, and that's not targeting, it needs to be understood that UGA's defenders now know it's ok to specifically target people's heads without even attempting to wrap up or make a tackle, just straight up launch into helmet to helmet.

Was Gunner holding the ball in his ear?

No. Wrong team. Had this been a Tx player they would have confirmed targeting on every UGA play within a 10 yard radius.

Not defenseless
side of the helmet, not crown
legal play

Not close to targeting.

No not targeting.

100% not targeting

Watching it live, I thought for sure it was targeting! But once the replay was shown, it was not. They got the call correct!
Very similar play happened in the OSU/UGA semi with Harrison jr. and Bullard. Live it looked like targeting, but once slowed down and replayed it showed it was a good hit!
Got a dollar Gunner won’t be running like that again!

I understand what OP is trying to say tho. Bc in our game, I didn’t think the Florida DB that tackled Noah’s butt deserved targeting. And the refs somehow confirmed targeting. It’s weird when they make it stick, and when they don’t.

Oddly enough, the consensus understanding of helmets that are used in Modern football is a bit of a misconception ..helmets are incredible weapons…that’s right..not just protection..want to eliminate targeting all together…eliminate the weapons ..players will be quickly encouraged to not launch or tackle high as I’m sure there is a false sense of security at play with some of these launches ..in extreme cases of skull fracture etc helmets may help..think motor vehicle impact ..but studies have shown helmets do not decrease brain movement/shifting and acceleration/rotation which leads to concussions. As for my opinion, it’s a violent sport with or without helmets..people will get hurt sometimes..
As for this hit..he did appear to launch but not with the crown of his helmet and If I recall Stockton lowered his head as well..Stockton wasn’t a defenseless player so I think no call for targeting is the right call.

Google the NCAA football rule book. It will be good for you so you know what targeting means in the future.

In pre-helmet 1905, 3 players died in a single day.

. There actually isn’t a consensus on how many players died in 1905 but most of those confirmed were due to internal injuries(no padding) or broken neck or back…on the day you speak of one of the 3 was a head to head hit causing a cerebral hemorrhage, the other a rib punctured a heart and the other was body slammed to the ground essentially breaking his neck. To be clear 1905 football had no forward pass, no neutral zone, use of the flying wedge which has been banned, drop kicks were allowed 5 yard first downs with no incentive to run outside the tackle. The game was brutal and doesn’t resemble the game today.
Obviously a better way of sustaining neck and head movement on impact is not a bad thing and is desirable . Maybe in my initial post didn’t make myself clear. I was just referring to blatant targeting..as in I’m not willing to crash my bare head in to his by choice :)Helmets do help but not so much with concussions. On average 5 or 6 concussions are reported per team per season in college football. Interesting is that based on a study findings by the medical society for sports medicine suggest that offensive linemen, a position group that experiences frequent, but low-magnitude, head impacts, develop more post impact symptoms than other playing positions, but do not report these symptoms as a concussion.

If you want to see fragrant targeting look at your own players hit on the GaTech QB that the SEC officiating crew conveniently ignored handing UGA an undeserved win.

It was blatant.
