Game Thread Ohio State vs Maryland, 10/07/17 @ 4:00 ET (FOX)

[Fungo Squiggly]

Baaaah. 1/2 second too late.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

No targeting there?

 

[Hetuck]

Go.

 

[kujirakira]

How we always getting these joke targeting calls? Roby correctly tackling Iowa TE 5 times his size, last week, Ward textbook tackle...
I get the need to protect players but the way this one is wrote up and enforced is a complete joke.

 

[Jake]

Ref should be suspended for that.

I'll cut the ref on the field some slack. He has to make a call seeing it once, and if he doesn't throw a flag and it IS a head shot he's in trouble.

The replay clown, on the other hand...

 

[OhioState001]

I like how they didn't throw a flag on the Ward hit until way after the play when they realized how big the hit was

 

[Steve19]

Go for it

 

[Telekinesis]

Actual helmet to helmet not called. Circus act.

 

[MD Buckeye]

O Line doing work.

 

[Steve19]

No targeting there?

Yes, just not called

 

[bukIpower]

That's a target

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

not good.

 

[MD Buckeye]

That doesn't look good.....

Most of the targeting calls I see in all games are ridiculous. They say the rule is one thing, but the enforcement goes beyond that - big, scary hit rule.

Uh oh be alright dude.
