Should the hit on Harrison Jr of OSU been targeting?
I thought it was targeting since forceful contact was made to the head of the defenseless player with the other player's head/shoulder. I only found the 2019 targeting rules posted below and that states that targeting is forceful contact to the head or neck with the fist/forearm/head/shoulder. I saw helmet-to-helmet contact and I assert that it doesn't matter if the defender led with his shoulder or his helmet.

I don't think the play necessarily impacted the outcome of the game but I'm more concerned about player safety.

Not at all. What's the DB/safety supposed to do? Two hand touch?

I like the refs no call. But, I think it was targeting by the book**

No he hit him with his shoulder. It is still football. He did not lead
