By that stratification, I would call the three penalties tonight a 1, 2, 2, respectively.I agree with those proposing a two-tier targeting penalty.
The first-tier is a non-flagrant 15-yard, but no ejection. The second-tier is a flagrant 15-yard with ejection penalty. A player penalized twice with a non-flagrant targeting is then ejected. I think that’s a fair system. It allows more lee-way for refs in making these decisions.
These where the runner lowers his own head have got to be addressed. The head does sit atop the shoulders and therefore comes first when traveling in a forward direction.You cant run without the head leading. When is a running back going to be called? He lowers his head as well....all humans run this way. Football is over.
This is an oldie but goody but I remember my 91 year old grandfather saying that the Memphis hotel owners knew that Ole Miss coming to town was nothing to get excited about because they would bring a pair of drawers and a five dollar bill and they wouldn’t change either one all weekendNot really. The UT-GT game on Labor Day night in 2017 did a sh*t rating. These games largely depend on who is playing. I don’t think a lot of people are fired up for a Ole Miss-U of L game.
