You guys sound like idiots regarding the targeting rule, and *intent* has nothing to do with it when the action alone was egregious, like the TLaw hit, I knew that guy was gone from the first replay.
They both should have been ejected so tOSU got off light IMO, other dude threw a punch...wtf?
It’s a good rule, helmet to helmet play is never, ever excusable, so dumb.
You guys, I thought, were better than that, so fucking dumb.
Shaddap.
The Earl Campbell/Jack Tatum collision is one of the best plays I've ever seen. Two men playing football. Hundreds, no, probably thousands of like hits throughout college football history. Never see that great stuff ever again.
It’s me tho, basically you are making the “get off my lawn”/“In my day...” logical fallacy, they have known this rule since high school..., what’s your beef, professional boxers and UFC fighters make a professional decision to forego the risk, and so has the NFL which applies the rule tighter than NCAA imo, questioning “targeting” on the TLaw play *is* dumb, and I like you cap but your argument is flawed.
You don’t like NCAA or NFL football don’t watch it.
That’s also a choice, but the idea these rules could be reversed is a non-starter...
The professional referee which I’m sure you categorize as an *apologist* was good enough for me and his logic was sound, good enough for me, and correct I thought.
If you think football should be played in a manner in which you can potentially end a players career, that’s sad, and you are detached from reality if you *argue* Tlaw lowered his head, go right ahead but I’ve seen the game 3-4 times including replay, and it’s just not factual.
