Which one do you see the crown leading?

The video in the reply.

Judging by @alt f4 's wonderful diagram, I'd put point of contact somewhere in the darkest red orange location right between "front" and "crown"

Facemask is certainly downward focused. I'd easily consider this a lowering of the head, contact to an opposing player's head/neck area, AND a defenseless receiver.

Incorrect, rule Targeting rule 9-1-4 is a 2-part rule.

Part 2 is satisfied because it's a defenseless player.

Part 1 also needs to be true in order for targeting and needs to be 'that goes beyond making a legal tackle'. Part 1 needs an indicator which includes a launch, crouch and thrust, or lowering of the head initiating contact with the crown of the helmet. None of these are true in this case.



The crown of the helmet is defined this in the rule book:
The crown of the helmet is the top segment of the helmet; namely, the circular area defined by a 6-inch radius from the apex (top) of the helmet.




Rule 9-1-4:
Targeting and Making Forcible Contact to Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player
ARTICLE 4
No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below) When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6) (A R 9-1-4-I-VI)

Note 1: “Targeting” means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball

Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to:
• Launch A player leaving their feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area
• A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground • Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area
• Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet


Note 2: Defenseless player (Rule 2-27-14) When in question, a player is defenseless Examples of defenseless players include but are not limited to:
• A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass This includes an offensive player in a passing posture with focus downfield
• A receiver attempting to catch a forward pass or in position to receive a backward pass, or one who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect themselves or has not clearly become a ball carrier
• A kicker in the act of or just after kicking a ball, or during the kick or the return • A kick returner attempting to catch or recover a kick, or one who has completed a catch or recovery and has not had time to protect themselves or has not clearly become a ball carrier
• A player on the ground
• A player obviously out of the play • A player who receives a blind-side block
• A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped
• A quarterback any time after a change of possession
• A ball carrier who has obviously given themselves up and is sliding feetfirst

A response on this board has never made me feel so disassociated from my body as this one. As I continued to read it, it was like my mind floated above my body, and looking down on me, it just thought... why? Then it said it seems like the fancy picture says its in a morally orange area but what do I know. Then I thought Who Cares? And finally Fuck Texas regardless.

IDK i think im just tired.

What do you call the 3 second mark of that video?! If he's not looking at the ground, he's looking at the receiver's dick (figures for a Texass kid - steers and queers...)

Can't tell me he didn't drop his head prior to contact...

He barely tilted. Looking at about his chest.

Anyway…who got in this afternoon tilt?

I’ll be rooting for ND but think Georgia takes it.

I'm the opposite of that - rooting for Georgia but think ND takes it.

Every time I've watched Georgia this season I've noticed how much they miss Bowers and McConkey. They don't seem to have anything to go to on offense when they need it.

I think it turns out like a Nebraska/Cockeye game where it's 17-13 and a mistake or two turns it. In any case, happy for the bonus football today.

Georgia's backup QB is even more of a wildcard than Beck is. Probably comes down to how much a very stout ND defense can do to get at him and get them a short field

[nscottie]

Here’s my very unprofessional take on the targeting.
1. It was Texas so fuck Texas and it’s targeting.
2. I live in Phoenix home of ASU, so fuck Texas, it’s targeting.
3. I hate Matthew McConoughy, so fuck Texas, it’s targeting.
4. The color burnt orange makes me puke, so fuck Texas, its targeting.

The rule has changed a lot from when it was first implemented. But, I didn't think that was targeting. The crown of the head is basically what used to be called spearing. While the Texas guy may have tilted some, he hit with the front of the helmet, and his eyes were still mostly up. To get to the crown, his head needed to be pretty much parallel with the ground.

If Dylan Raiola stayed with Georgia, would have have a chance at starting today?

I think everyone has seen a lesbian that looks just like Al Golden and drives a Subaru

 

[redzoner]

I like Georgia and in a vacuum I would want them to win but I'm ready for more pile on of the SEC and ESPN homers so Go Irish.

 

[Jim14510]

ND defense going all out on the run. Need to hit some quick passes.

 

[BingoDingo]

I'm shocked that wasn't 15...sweet Jesus haha

 

[doublewing]

LOL. That punter has a nemesis.

 

[...TrueColors...]

Idk the rule. But I remember hearing something about them being more focused on whether your plant leg gets hit than the one that’s up. @alt f4

 

[ZJSARENOTFREE]

It's nuts. That punter got destroyed.
