CFP Quarterfinals: Texas vs Arizona State

[WestGA'Cane]

It's clear that ESPN hates us..Tess only the early game after New Year's Eve!

That kicker just ruined whatever sobriety Sark had going on.

Car keys are currently next to his play sheet

 

[Florido]

He's gonna have to leave the country, let's be honest

He will be exiled from Austin at least.

 

[Disgustipated]

They should definitely get rid of the ejection that carries over to the next game for 2nd half targeting. Cost ASU their best DB for first half when they gave up long passes. Just ridiculous

Targeting was never needed because the rules already stated you can't hit with your head or hit others in the head. than to eject kids. stupid

 

[CANESCANES]

Why was Sark talking to the kicker?

Skat gotta be well rested by now

See what you hit, hit what you see. I like the no -call. Defender's head was up.
2 players approx. the same height collide in a bang-bang play. Would love to see Target-lovers strap on a helmet and get an understanding for the speed of the game and the inevitability of contact when wearing a piece of equipment extending from the top and sides of your head.

Targeting is forcible contact (by helmet, elbow, shoulder, arm, etc) to the head or neck of a defenseless player.

That was a helmet to helmet hit on a defenseless player.

You might not like the rule, but that is targeting by rule.

And that rule would 1000% have been enforced if the colors were switched.

The earlier hit on the UT WR was not targeting because it was the chest of the defender that contacted the UT receiver’s helmet.

Berts hair looks like ****. They must not be paying the ************ that's why he missed.

 

[Pearson704]

Shocking how Texas can’t run the ball.

This is the real problem.

Why was Sark talking to the kicker?

Probably told him.to.go home straight and never come back if he misses

 

[gordonsolie]

The one thing I have learned from this game is that Dam Skaterboo throws a better pass than any QB on Miami's roster right now.

 

[PIPO]

That was PI or holding not called in the Endzone

 

[WestGA'Cane]

I have no idea what targeting is

No launch, no crown. Helmets making contact has been a part of football since.....forever.

Yup. Just throw the 15 yard flag. Eject guys on the spot when it's really egregious like they do in the NFL. Stupid for it to carry over the next game because of which half the foul happened in.

 

[BS85]

**** *** spot

 

[flips]

Why are they even reviewing this

They need the NFL quick receivers in college. These reviews they do are ridiculous.

It was the shoulder that contacted the Texas receiver, and according to the letter of the law you cited, was forcible contact to a defenseless player. Problem is that football is played at a break neck speed with collisions inherent. The rule, unfortunately, needs to be INTERPRETED on a case-by-case basis with a grain of common sense. Not to be a jerk, but people who haven't played don't have a clue.
