I want the ACC officials to explain

Why that was targeting and what coaches can teach to prevent it. Without this explanation there's going to be outrage.

There is no explanation the ACC can give.

Because it clearly was not targeting. Just a convenient opportunity for the ACC to screw Clemson over. Par for the course.

You really think if they came out with an explanation

Clemson fans would say, "Oh, I did not realize that. Thanks for the explanation, and God bless!"

Never mind - maybe I wouldn't....

I believe most fans would accept it had the video indicated targeting. How else was he supposed to hit the guy?
Overall, not the best crew of officials on the field last night in WS.
Even the announcers thought it was a bad call. It should be appealed.

he just missed and accidently him in the chest.
Great call by the replay official to recognize that RS really wanted to hit that guy in the head.
Kidding aside - I agree it shouldn't be too much to ask for an explanation of why that was considered targeting.

your post without looking at your name then I looked over midway through and saw you wasn't a coot and was in no way being serious and read the rest. So I apologize for thinking about thumbing you down and even though I did what I was supposed to and thumbed you up I'll sit off of tigernet for the last half of the day like I deserve to for intending such malicious harm to your account. Some say I'm just a bad apple.

Video evidence to over turn the ruling on the field.
The real question is how do you wAtch the videos and NOT see that it was a clean hit. Did you look at it from a different angle or something? Did you understand what the rules are ?
I think if heard this Clemson fans would say thanks have a nice day and go on our way.

I could see how the official may have missed because of the speed of the game. I am going to give the referee the benefit of the doubt. I want to hear the reasoning of the replay officials for not correcting the call and still ejecting the player. We need to know why and a statement should be issued on that.

Or at least admit it was a mistake

I could live with that as well.
SEC officials admit when they make mistakes. Another reason SEC is better than the ACC.

ACC officials owe an explanation to no one except...
Nov 7, 2014, 2:25 PM
|

...John Swofford. They do as they are ordered to do, that is, "try not to make is too obvious, but use every occasion possible to screw Clemson."
That is all.

Basically what’s happening is that anytime a defender leads with any part of his helmet, shoulder or torso and makes no clear attempt to either deflect or intercept the ball it’s considered targeting.
That’s not what the rule states, but that’s what they’re calling.
Coaches need to teach players to play the ball and not the receiver.
I don’t like it, but that’s where we’re headed in football given all the hoopla over concussions and the fact that lawyers have started to get involved.
