You don’t need targeting rules if you stop making passing so easy.

If the powers that be would tighten up on the easy passing rules which actually encourage defenses to converge at the few places on the field where the ball is likely to go - because they’ve been so neutered otherwise - you would have fewer concussion type collisions. But that would mean less offense and scoring - and there ain’t no way they’re going to do that. But please stop the sanctimony with these rules as though they’re only possibility for reducing head injuries. All they really are is insurance from lawsuits. ** Edited by marcbvtgm at 9/21/2025, 6:27:48 PM

It looks like he intentionally lead with his helmet on a defenseless player

Compare that to the non targeting call against uSC-E in the mizzou

My question is when a defensive player has committed his path to the

Your question is totally legit, considered by some refs but not others...
RRHokie90 09/21/25 03:25 PM ET
That should have been targeting.
Flanker 09/21/25 08:44 AM ET
I think he started to lead with the crown
crazylane 09/21/25 01:08 PM ET
I think that call was right
