National Championship: LSU vs. Clemson

[Switch 625]

Just give a 15 yard penalty for targeting.. no need to throw someone out the 1st time imo

Maybe they should treat it like an unsportsmanlike penalty and throw the offender out after the second targeting.

35-25 LSU, but it ain't over yet, folks.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

He's been awesome tonight.

Confusing the OL, hitting and calling the defense.

I hate the targeting rule...

And I want LSU to win, but now I think its assured.

The LSU pregame announcers said the Clemson linebackers lacked athletic ability

 

[Dudleys87]

Don't want to get targeting called on you? Keep your head up and look at who you're hitting.

These guys looking straight down at the field when making contact are going to get called on anything close.

Facts

Ballgame

 

[volfanhill]

Intent has to come into play when ejecting a player.

Not when you read shat like this


American football hits similar to 62 car crashes per game - new research

 

[rjd970]

The rule is BS, but that one was pretty obvious.

I've seen worse not get called.

 

[Boston Vol]

Game will probably end around 12:15 eastern

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

I've seen worse not get called.

Especially when Alabama is involved

Totally Agree with you.

I had to get up and go to the tv. I'll be danged, you're right.

And their helmets and jerseys don't match any of their NCAA authorized stuff.

Just give a 15 yard penalty for targeting.. no need to throw someone out the 1st time imo

Agree with you on no ejection for first offense, unless it's just really egregious--like the type of hit where a db tries to decapitate a receiver.

 

[Zues1]

But Hitting The receiver in the back with your helmet late on an over thrown ball is not a defenseless player. Got it

 

[Orange defense]

You can’t launch with your helmet, they are going to review it every time. The head, neck, and shoulder area especially. Anywhere else launching, then they are going to toss you out.

 

[GVol1966]

I can't stand Clemson but the targeting ejection was complete BS.

No it was absolutely the right call.
The rule may be BS but that was textbook targeting

 

[alaVOL]

Keep this a game Tigers!

 

[golfballs]

Targeting is the worst rule in college football. The SEC uses it as a way to eject our best players right after they make great plays. Totally rigged

 

[BadgerVol!]

Is this ploy of four Middle School boys talking over each other and gabbing like they have to fill every second not the most annoying thing you’ve ever experienced in CFB?!!

 

[joevol33]

Interception

 

[Boston Vol]

Late flag

 

[rjd970]

Especially when Alabama is involved

SEC officials say this is clean. SMH.

 

[joevol33]

But flag

 

[BowlBrother85]

Late flag

...very late, but the right call.

 

[Switch 625]

So in the season finale of Fanville, Bigfan has to be Shaq right?

Bo Jackson. That’s why he was missing at halftime.

 

[irish1485]

Then how do you justify when it’s a really bad hit and it’s being the first time? I’m all for cutting down injuries but there’s got to be a way to meet in the middle. What’s purposeful and what’s not

If its egregious then yes, I agree. But there's no way he should be out the rest of this game for that hit (and the 1st half of their 1st game next year?).
