Yes Rich, death on the field. Yes, that is the absolute worst hit that has ever taken place in the targeting era, let alone in football in the last 30 years. He gets there a little later and that hit is not even with the head. I saw a worse hit last year with Michigan and Florida and it was not even a targeting foul after replay.

Which is why the FED rule specifies “helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulders.” 2-20-2

That is not the point. The point is this play I doubt I would eject. He clearly hits him in the head, but if he is earlier, he might have him in the chest. I think at the high school level with no replay and no 7 man crews should we be ejecting players automatically like the NCAA for targeting situations. Of course, we can if we deem that is the case, this to me would not be that case.
