#8 Miami (5-0) vs Cal (3-1) (ESPN)

[TrueOrange]

I think that’s targeting.

Never mind. The official called it otherwise but…wow

 

[TrueOrange]

Miami starting inside their own 10 with 1:42 left in the game, down 6.

 

[TrueOrange]

Cal’s defense is gassed. The first play was a 77 yard pass on a blown coverage.

 

[BeardedVol]

That was clearly targeting by the 2024 definition:

What is the targeting rule in college football?

The NCAA rulebook is extensive and complicated. Here's a look at the targeting rule in college football and how it's enforced.

[TrueOrange]

15 yard penalty after the play on Miami.

Kicked a Cal player in the face while getting up.

 

[TrueOrange]

3rd and 20 now at the Cal 25. 47 seconds left.

Cal takes its last timeout.

 

[TrueOrange]

And Miami picks up the first down at the 4 with 37 seconds left.

 

[TrueOrange]

Reviewing to see if it was an illegal forward pass.

Doubtful something like that called (it’s not).

 

[TrueOrange]

37 seconds and 1st and goal at the 4.

 

[TrueOrange]

Tackled in the backfield. 2nd and goal at the 6 with 32 seconds left.

Timeout Miami.

 

[EaglesVols91]

The refs handed Miami a win for the 2nd week in a row. Un****ingbelievable. College football has become a mockery

 

[TrueOrange]

And TD Miami on the RPO pass. The 90-yard TD drive to win the game in the last minute.

That’s a huge Heisman moment for Cam Ward. That pretty much makes him the leader/favorite for the award at this point.

 

[EaglesVols91]

I think that’s targeting.

Never mind. The official called it otherwise but…wow

It was absolutely targeting. They always call it for far less too

 

[SGMVols]

Ward just shot up to the top of the Heisman board

 

[TrueOrange]

And the pass on 4th and 10 is intercepted.

Miami will take over . They complete the 25-point comeback in just a quarter and a half.

(Miami outscored Cal 29-3 over the last 18 minutes of the game.)

 

[JackWhite]

That was targeting, Cal got robbed

 

[TrueOrange]

Final score Miami 39 Cal 38.

Miami will likely move up to #6 in next week’s poll.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

Final score Miami 39 Cal 38.

Miami will likely move up to #6 in next week’s poll.

They'll move higher than that. I assume it will look something like:

1. Texas
2. Ohio State
3. Oregon
4. Miami
5. Georgia
6. Penn State
7. Bama
8. Tennessee

Maybe something like that.

They'll move higher than that. I assume it will look something like:

1. Texas

4. Miami
5. Georgia
6. Penn State
7. Bama
8. Tennessee

Maybe something like that.

They won’t jump Georgia (who won soundly) if they’re already behind them despite being undefeated just for beating Cal by a point.

The more I think about it, though…how far can Alabama actually fall? Putting them further down than 5…then they’re ranked behind a team in Georgia that they beat pretty decisively and they have the same record as, no?

 

[TrueOrange]

…don’t start chanting overrated 3 minutes into the second half when you’re only up 18

This feels like it’s worth pointing out again.

 

[SGMVols]

This feels like it’s worth pointing out again.

Chanting overrated is dumb in any context. You’re discrediting your own team

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

They'll move higher than that. I assume it will look something like:

1. Texas
2. Ohio State
3. Oregon
4. Miami
5. Georgia
6. Penn State
7. Bama
8. Tennessee

Maybe something like that.

Tennessee and Bama should not be top 10.
