Ejecting a player for their first targeting call is one on the worst rules in

college football. They should be given at least 1 warning. Great example of why the rule sucks is the ejection of a Clemson Sr. In his last game. And against the coots!

maybe it could be more like basketball, you can rough a guy up 4 times, but get ejected after the 5th.

The other teams seem to able to do whatever they want to do to rough us up in b-ball games however....and there are no whistles being blown unless it's a "foul" because Clemson is performing it. When the other team does it to us, it's ok.
Hth?!

disagree if it justified call, the prob is that league can not review and reverse the bad calls

No it just needs to better defined

If two helmets touch, it does not mean targeting. The impact of the hit matters.
If you allow a one time warning, then all seniors in their last game can just put it on someone that they dislike.

Rule says " "crown of helmet"
That's where most of these plays are not " meeting" the criteria
Am sure it will be revisited with rules committee

Exactly - Anthony's was at most a simple personal foul.

As it is being enforced right now, the "Targeting" rule is bad for college football.

Anthony's was just dumb on his part

There was no need to hit Thompson. He was well behind the scrimmage and was just throwing the ball away. There is no reason to hit him. That's what football is trying to prevent.
The real travesty is the ones where the secondary players are trying to break up a pass. Are defenders expected to now just allow the offense to catch the ball?

vaginal political correctness droids.
So the fact that people want it responsible enforced doesn't matter to the NCAA. They know we will keep forking over cash even for a wussy version of neo-football.

Coaches should teach tackling. That would be wrapping up the offensive player with your arms and bringing him to the ground.

called on the non-intentional or accidental hitting of helmets. That's the part that gripes me.

I can agree with that. If you can't lead with your helmet, why allow leading with forearm & elbow.

Agree that play was not a flagrant unsportsmanlike act...just a linebacker attacking a QB doing his job.

Early in the 20th century Teddy Roosevelt convened a meeting that ended up creating the NCAA. The impetus for the meeting was to establish rules by which colleges could compete in football WITHOUT KILLING STUDENTS.
Now we are early in the 21st century and it is proposed that college students should be able to play a game WITHOUT CAUSING BRAIN DAMAGE.
I agree with the new rule.
