I'm certainly no Bama fan, but that wasn't remotely targeting. Williams is so much taller than Murray, the bottom of his face mask made contact with Murray's helmet as they went to the ground.

The really bad call that went in Bama's favor was the TD that wasn't overturned. The ball was moving the entire time and the ball was in his lap when he hit the ground.

He finished the tackle?

Why did he finish a tackle on someone that already threw the ball?

Roughing the passer

Forcibly driving the passer to the ground and landing on him with action that punishes the player.


Fine.

Show me how Williams blatantly drove Cryler to the ground and landed on him with action that is intended to punish him.

Show me and explain.

Since when is face mask to face mask considered targeting?

Ask Devin

Y’all said that face mask to face mask kissing was the right call. So did Sankey

I’m not making this an LSU thing

But face masks touching is still targeting if the player is “defenseless”

A QB is considered defenseless, so as sankey described, it’s targeting

White didnt wrap him up when he hit him. That shouldn't have been targeting, but they called it. It was a stupid call to make. An even dumber call to hold up after review. But just because one player gets called for a bullshite penalty doesn't mean everyone should.

It does unfortunately mean that. White by the stupid fricking rule committed targeting. So did Williams. You can’t pick and chose when to call it

They need to just change the rule this offseason

From an OU fan. Wasn’t targeting. Was unnecessary roughness and helmet did come off as Williams body launched him to the turf. Would rather an OU lineman save the frustration at the end of the play for the next one & chop him. You do enough of that crap & your career gets shortened.

For you Bama cucks and dickriders...

This is what you told us was was textbook targeting. Notice, no helmet to helmet. Only a blow to the shoulders.

Unfortunately, the rule is pretty much picking and choosing. It's mostly an opinion penalty. As much as it sucks, I'd rather a few players get fricked over than all of them. Hopefully it will drive change if enough people complain about the inability to call it evenly and correctly across the country.

It needs to be addressed. Big time. Incidental helmet to helmet should never be called targeting. Targeting should only be called if its BLATANT targeting. With the intention of injuring the player. If there's any doubt about it being intentional, then it shouldn't be flagged. As it stands now, the penalty is an opinion based penalty.

There was helmet to helmet contact. But it was incidental and should never have been called targeting.

I can agree with that. And that leads to conspiracy theories. I would be OK if it did not involve suspension for next game. I never thought of it until the Devin White thing that a ref/call in one game can affect another game at a later date...

Is that no longer true?

White shouldn’t have been called for targeting either.

Great freaking play. Great freaking text book tackle. And btw there is no way for a 6'3 guy to actually tackle a midget and make it look dainty. He sacked the little corksucker who had made a complete fool of him and the defense all night. This little shite and the one at Army have redefined "herding knats". Great players but they go down hard when sacked by a 290 lb cat. LOL!
