[quote=Anonymous]I agree, had the exact same reaction to that play. I was confused because when they were deciding if it was "targeting" I thought that doesn't sound right because I don't think the defender intentionally led with his helmet or hit him late. But then they ruled it to not be targeting and there was no penalty at all which was so weird.

In the NFL it would have been called for unnecessary roughness and it would have been an automatic 1st down. Instead, there was no penalty at all even though the receiver was hit with helmet-to-helmet contact in frankly scary tackle, and the offense wound up having to punt because it was 4th down. That's nuts!

Given how the game ended, that call was very consequential. And it made no sense.

I have been trying to give college football a look this year because if they create a real, competitive playoff tournament, it's a much more compelling sport to me. But crap like this doesn't help (also the tournament itself is still too beholden to the conference system which is, by its nature, anti-competitive and doesn't result in the best teams making the playoff). Sigh. Why do people watch this?[/quote]
