LB Arvell Reese (Official Thread)


Arvell Reese Will Be Available For Entire Penn State Game After Ohio State Wins Appeal Over Targeting Call

Following Ohio State’s win over Nebraska, the program submitted an appeal to the Big Ten regarding Reese’s targeting penalty, arguing that he should not have been ejected for his hit on Nebraska wide receiver Jahmal Banks. The Big Ten went to the NCAA, who determined upon review that the play should not have been penalized for targeting and vacated Reese’s suspension, allowing him to play for the entire game against Penn State.

Just sayin': What does this say for the competence of the B1G referee(s) that reviewed the play? They reviewed the play for what had to be over 5 minutes and still got it wrong.....:mad2:

That was one of the most ridiculous targeting calls I've ever seen. Reese was almost stopped when the offensive player ran into his shoulder.

I've certainly seen worse (less severe) hits get called as targeting, but I've seen far more sever hits NOT get called. I'm sure it's just selective memory, but I get the feeling that Ohio State gets boned on these calls way worse than any opposing teams do.

I know this is not the correct thread, but another example of why the refs at this level of D1 football MUST be full-time employees.
There needs to be a better way to standardize this call. One week you can almost take a guy's head off (no example given) and not get ejected, and the next week you stop short and do a shoulder-to-shoulder hit, and get ejected. And it's all a judgment call on the field and then in the booth. And yeah - I get that most or all penalties are judgment calls. And the refs make bad calls. But I just feel that it's worse when it comes to targeting.

I think it was him where an OSU defender was coming right at the NW QB. The QB had gotten rid of the ball and you could almost hear the OSU player thinking “don’t do anything that could cause a flag” as he was trying to stop his rush to the QB. No flag was thrown.
