Regardless of my opinion on the call, I think this play shows some evidence that the targeting rule is having a positive influence on hits like this. I have no doubt that even as recently as maybe 5 years ago, we would have seen the Tennessee blocker launch himself into the A&M player and likely have had a much more violent hit likely with helmet to helmet contact. In fairness to the Tennessee player, he didn't launch himself into the A&M player and I don't think there was any intent to make helmet to helmet contact. Just an observation.
