Am I the only one that thought they got both targeting calls wrong today?

At least on ours (I didn't see the 2nd because the ESPN TV feed froze) they called it correctly the way the rule is written.
That said, it's an awful rule. It doesn't account for the offensive player purposely dropping their head to engage helmet to helmet contact. Or in our case that a WR trying to run after the catch =\= defenseless. Then don't get me started on the implications of such a call.

The one against us was more acceptable to me than the one against them according to the rule. The one against us you could clearly see our guy let up , of course when you do that you stand up more and the other guy ducked down but according to the rule it was correct. The one against them the guy was a good 2 to 3 steps away from Jalen and never touched the ball and never let up, they reversed the targeting call after review......................... WHY ? and against he QB on top................

I'm not one to comment on announcers after a game, but did Andre Ware play on a college BB team as well as football, and we handed him his a** in a game at one time? I don't know that I have had an analyst grate on me like this guy ever. We used trick plays and it was a bad deal. VU used trick plays and it seemed to be entirely appropriate. It just seemed to me that, if I hadn't known better, he must have been a VU alum! Sorry if this is off base, but it was frustrating to watch the game, and seemingly hear this guy downplay our efforts / strategies as "inept"!

Every time he has called a game with UK playing he has always slammed us ! I think it goes back when he played QB around the time Tim Couch played and was knock out of Heisman running , not sure , but he has always talked bad about UK!

I think it goes back when he played QB around the time Tim Couch played and was knock out of Heisman running , not sure , but he has always talked bad about UK! You must be thinking of someone else. Ware played about 10 yrs before Couch's time in college, and he did win a Heisman back in the day. No idea why he seems to be so negative toward the Cats, though. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 |
