It's BS that the receiver can lower his head like that and force a targeting call.

That is a BS call..the guy caught the ball and ran and got hit with a shoulder... My god the pussification...

Apparently, there's another game on TV. I'm watching Oklahoma-Baylor.

 

[Saw31]

Trifecta.

Don't think I've ever seen 3 fifteen yard penalties on 1 play. Damn...

 

[Buckeye doc]

I thought the ball carrier couldn't lower the helmet either. Hope the kid is o.k. Don't lead with the crown of your helmet!

 

[Bestbuck36]

Damn. Baylor with a million yards in penalties in 5 seconds. Idiots. Act like you've been there. Oh wait.....

 

[Poe McKnoe]

This targeting rule is garbage. Everything about it.

 

[Drubuck]

This rule is ruining football. No reason to tack on the yardage if found not at fault. bullshit rule

 

[buckeyebri]

No ejection..

 

[Mike80]

Shoulder to shoulder isn't the wording of the rule though. It was clear he was going to hit him high. It's crappy tackling technique as well.

Oh and I'm not sure it was an incomplete pass either.

 

[scarletmike]

Wow...he doesn't get ejected. It was an unnecessary hit, I think he hit the head/neck more than the shoulder, but he could have easily wrapped up.

EDIT: Yeah, what Mike said about the incomplete. It was clearly complete, and should have been a fumble. I'm not sure if the targeting call would have nullified the fumble, though.

 

[Jake]

That hit was way worse than what Roby did when Roby got disqualified. I must be the only person who saw the DB load, up, lower his shoulder, and blast the guy in the side of the head.

I miss the days when players actually tried to tackle the ball carrier.

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

Baylor to me feels like a punk kid that needs a wake-up call. I would like to see Oklahoma pound them into the ground. 3 Quarters left, maybe it will happen.

 

[buckeyebri]

Not an incomplete pass at least two steps... Hit him with he shoulder c'mon man...

 

[OHSportsFan]

Wow...he doesn't get ejected. It was an unnecessary hit, I think he hit the head/neck more than the shoulder, but he could have easily wrapped up.

Not disagreeing, or directed at you Mike.

but he did his job- brought down the ball-carrier and caused what should have been a fumble. Proper, wrap-up technique? No, but that's a player going and making a play [10 years ago].

 

[AuburnBuckeye]

Sooner offense is REALLY bad
