Refs for Ok St vs Mizzou

[isuno1fan]

No catch!

 

[CNECloneFan]

Another targeting coming up

It looked like targeting to me. At least, a really vicious hit.

Once again illustrating the random nature of the targeting rule.

 

[clonedlion]

Did the foot touch down?

 

[clonedude]

Another targeting coming up

Possibly. I think he hit him in the chest, but it was still stupid of him to lead with his helmet.

 

[motorcy90]

no holding call on this mizzu line basically tackled the d lineman.

 

[clonedlion]

That looks like an obvious no catch when they slowed it down.

I figured they'd apply the "defenseless" player angle

 

[Cyched]

Ruled incomplete, no targeting. Still don't understand why you lead with your helmet when 2 of your teammates have already been booted.

 

[clonedlion]

I'll be damned. Made the correct call.

 

[veteran4cy]

Lock just smacked his head on the ground hard. Should have been taken out for concussion check.

You act like when someone is running as fast as they can, trying to time up a hit that you can just make your body change direction and avoid that type of hit. It doesn't work that way, especially when you factor in the ball carrier/receiver changing their body position.

Only if they care about safety.

Yeah that's targeting now but it's traditionally what a defensive back does to make a play.

Aikman yesterday in an NFL game was funny calling a late hit on a QB call nausiating because it was such a basic football play.

 

[SerenityNow]

Nice defensive stand by the pokes. Good win.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Nice stand there by OSU.
Haha why even waste time measuring that? It was a full yard short.

 

[Jayshellberg]

I don't have a problem with getting rid of "leading with the helmet", especially when the player launches and goes for the other player's head.

My issue is with "helmet to helmet contact" which often times simply cannot be avoided, and is much less violent than shoulder to helmet contact.

Concur. The rules says it has to be "forceable" contact to the head or neck area. Contact to the head or neck is an objective term. However, the word "forceable" is subjective. They need to get all the officials together and show them videos of what is forceable and what is not.

 

[isuno1fan]

Whew. Needed that.

 

[clonedlion]

Horrible game management by Missouri.

 

[CYber_saber]

Go XII

 

[cygrads]

So with Mizoo losing maybe we can end up ranked in the final poll.
I'll add if Utah beats Northwestern that would help as well.
