Lucas?

How the F is a helmet to helmet on the side of the helmet count as targeting?

Actually looks like it was behind Lucas’s helmet ear hole. No way that is targeting

They were basing it on launch, which is bullshiite.
We had a game some years back where we were called for targeting without ANY helmet contact, based allegedly on launch. Our D player flew right over the top of the player barely making contact.

Targeting is a subjective call implemented solely for the refs to impact games.

Believe that was against Virginia in 2018. Want to say it was Mike Jackson or Bandy.

All we got to do is control TOP like we normally do...kid will only miss 2-3 posessions

The "rules expert" on the broadcast said he launched. But that requires forceful contact forward and up. If anything Lucas moved down. Because the receiver dropped as he approached, his right shoulder made first contact with the helmet. By the letter of the stupid rule that is targeting. It just happened. While intent is not required they should take that into consideration when looking at a suspension.
