The rules are the rules. If you use common sense, you try to determine intent. Too many cases where you can’t interpret intent, cuz how can an official see inside the mind of the player. Too many times I’ve seen the offensive player lower their head and initiate contact. Until this rule is applied proportionally, it is a bogus rule.pezsez1 wrote:Targeting is the dumbest thing to happen to college football, at least how the rule is often applied. It's just dumb. The rules need to allow for the refs to use common sense and only eject players who clearly mean to take people out.

Re: offensive targeting
It would be like in the NBA with flagrant fouls. Targeting 1 and targeting 2 penalties...Everythingsducky wrote:The rules are the rules. If you use common sense, you try to determine intent.

Re: offensive targeting
^ Exactly. I said the same on page 1
And, it would make 80% of these targeting calls go away.

It shouldn’t even be an ejection. 15 yard penalty and move on.

Far too many replays in college football
