Can anyone get that nasty hit and post. That was one of the best stops I've seen from a Cyclone in a long time.
Young's Hit
- Thread starter FallOf81
- Start date
Not in the first half of the OSU game...
He has offers from EVERYONE before getting into some trouble. This is a guy Clemson, Alabama and Ohio State offered. Might be the most raw talented player on the defense.
Isheem Young is one of the best players we’ve had at ISU at this stage. Big 12 doesn’t want him on field for us at OkieSt...
Then he shouldn’t target. *shrug*
the WR shouldn’t have ducked his head down into young prior to getting hit. Had he not ducked, young’s hit would’ve been fine
I can't tell if people are being serious with this or not.
I had this question during the game, I didn’t think you could call targeting when hitting a ball carrier,RB or WR after a catch, because of this very issue how they lower their own heads often
You don’t think it’s Normal to seriously claim someone that has played 4 career games and was practically non-existent until the 3rd game is the greatest player isu has ever had?
The rule has nothing to do with if the offensive player lowers his head or not. It was a target and is something that Young should correct.

I wasn’t disputing the call, but by that logic they could call targeting 2 or 3 times a game on tackles on a running back
The main problem is inconsistency. You watch from game to game, it is extremely subjective and interpreted differently. You see a player launch, hit helmet to helmet, not targeting. Then you see Young turn his head to avoid the "crown" of the helmet, but that's targeting. They either need to define it in greater detail, or teach the refs to strictly follow the current language.
So many of these calls happen because the offensive player lowers his head and actually causes the helmet to helmet. But they punish the defender anyway.

The problem I see is the primary contact is shoulder to shoulder and the secondary contact is helmet to helmet.
If the offensive guy is considered a runner at the point of contact, lowers their head that initiated the contact, they can be thrown for targeting. Doesn’t happen often but remember it happening twice last year in games I watched.
Nonsense. ISU is the team that’s been showcased on ABC the last 2 weeks.
