ND @ Texas Targeting or not?
What do you think? Some talk about this last night from officials at that level. Peace

Of course it is. It's exactly the type of play the rule was made for -- forcible contact to the head or neck area.
It's also the type of play that we need to get out of football if football, as we know it, is to survive. |

So, our guidance (NFHS rules) is that, even without targeting, hits like this on a defenseless player where the defender is clearly looking to make a hit and not a tackle should be called as a PF for unnecessary roughness. Does this not exist in NCAA?

It for sure wasn't a PF for hitting a defenseless player. Really close on targeting but the receiver is moving downwards, I think from contact from behind( I haven't rewatched video), and UT player turns his body so he doesn't hit him with his head. There is no launch, he doesn't crouch and lunge upwards, no lowering of head, and I don't think he leads with the helmet. The replay official even said there wasn't enough to go to video and have a review.

Just want to note that hitting a player who fits the criteria for a defenseless player is not, in of itself a penalty.
