    That was targeting. I don’t like the entirety of the rule, but under the rule it’s targeting.

    I really don't understand the rule if that wasn't targeting?

    but he did not launch or lead with the crown of the helmet- they just ran together

    Well, if you’re asking me who I’d prefer lose, it’s uga. But, Tx a-holes spend a lot of money for their players, so I’d love for them to choke this away.

    I predict goldilocks misses again if they get in range.

    By rule, any forceable contact to the head or neck area on a defenseless player is targeting. Hard to say that wasn't forceable contact to the head/neck on a defenseless player.

    There was no launch and he didn't use the crown, so if the player is not defenseless, it is not targeting.

    I think it was a clean hit, and it would have been a bs call. By rule, I do think it was targeting though.

    I think he’s kind of funny. At least he doesn’t seem biased, which is refreshing

    I think that receiver was in a vulnerable postion..he could have been badly hurt..that should be targeting..I have seen less called for targeting

    Oh well. ASU gave them a run for their money, anyway.

    Don't need the qualifier on a defenseless player.

    And him practically being knocked out is exactly why that rule exists, then not to enforce it there is really odd.
