Nebraska vs tOSU, Noon ET, Oct. 24, FOX

They can, but they won't because it didn't involve the defender's helmet.

It doesn't need to. He launched at the head and neck area.

Isn't shoulder to helmet also targeting?

Yep. Didn't Annette get ejected for a similar hit in '18?

 

[Tanner]

Time to bring in some backups, run the football and go back to the dorms

 

[Ryan36_1]

Clear launch missed.

 

[Poe McKnoe]

He dropped the ball because of forceable contact to the head or neck area, and announcers say “you can clearly see why he dropped it.” Are you not connecting dots here?

 

[NFBuck]

Dammit.

 

[Steve19]

I have always thought highly of Nebraska and their sportsmanship. This team is a dirty team that has clearly been coached to take head and knee shots. Rubbish.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Hope Olave isnt out for next week in protocol to boot

 

[Gothmog8]

"immediate continuing action" .. wtf is this game anymore?

 

[NFBuck]

Stiffen up here, D.

 

[Gizmo]

fuck these refs not even looking into the launch into his head.

That's what I mean, it was targeting, but because it wasn't with the defender's helmet they won't look for targeting. Especially right after another targeting call.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Fuck Mike Pereira

 

[morbitzerker]

It's a fumble according to the rules. To me it's obvious Olave lost conciousness and potentially suffered a concussion, possibly as an after effect of the fall from earlier in the game. I hate to see guys have these injuries. It's a tough sport.

Exactly. You never know these days.
