September 21, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, JBJ said: Its been posted several times in the past, but because people are still confused: There two types of targeting: 1) What used to be spearing, which is striking with the crown of the helmet (6 inch circle around the very top). Doesn't matter who what or where, this is always a penalty. 2) Striking with forceable contact a defenseless player in the head or neck area. a) Defenseless players are: (1) passers during/after a throw or in a throwing stance, (2) receivers in the act or shortly after a catch, (3) players currently in the grasp of a tackle, (4) kickers and punters during/after whichever act, (5) the player who was lined up in the typical QB position after a change of possession, (6) any person being blocked from the blindside. b) Forceable contact is contact beyond what is required for a normal tackle (putting a lick on someone) which must be accompanied by an indicator of targeting: launching, upward thrust, forearm shiver, leading with the crown or shoulder, kick or punch. the UTSA QB took a drop and then took 2 steps up like he was going to throw but never got his arm up. they deemed the facemask to facemask, forcible contact. they have an accelerometer app in the booth so they can tell exactly how much force is applied. I'm sure you are all well aware of how good Big 12 booth review refs are. How are we going to save lives if we let hits like this happen? won't someone think of the children?
September 21, 20223 yr ETA on this bullshit call that should be reversed but never will because #big12?
September 21, 20223 yr 16 minutes ago, Dahobbs said: Assuming @JBJ is describing the play correctly, then it shouldn't be targeting. Again, the key is there has to be some evidence the player intends to make forcible contact beyond what is necessary for the play. If the QB is stumbling and it is clear that is why his head comes down, then it shouldn't be a penalty. The rub is that if there is any doubt as to whether the QB intentionally lowered the head, then it should be called targeting. Oh, and in case @bullet still doesn't believe me that intentional conduct is what is prohibited by the targeting rule, here is the NCAA rulebook where it is made clear that "for the purpose of" means with intent (see yellow highlighting below): Well based on the paragraph regarding Appeal Process, Overshown is screwed for 2 reasons: 1. "If national coordinator concludes that it is clearly obvious..." -- Nothing is ever clearly obvious, especially on a appeal process. 2. "the conference may vacate the following game suspension: --B12 has option to vacate, but they don't have to. They won't vacate shit for TX unless forced.
September 21, 20223 yr Popular Post In Big 12 play this year either Card or Ewers will likely be sacked in exactly that same manner and our opponent will not get a targeting call. And it will likely happen more than once. Fuck the Big 12 and the NCAA.
September 21, 20223 yr Ok so now defenders have to look the QB in his eyes before they decide how to tackle him. Got it.
September 21, 20223 yr I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-assed, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed, sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?"Seriously what a bunch of old fucks ruining this sport. The future of college football needs to kick the NCAA to the curb. Fucking cunts.

September 21, 20223 yr 7 minutes ago, HOOKEM4 said: I would love for them to clarify exactly when he was supposed to do there. Walk me through it like I am 5. Jfc. He is supposed to pull up right before contact so the QB can spin off of him and make a play that benefits the offense. The Big XII/NCAA has the false belief that the world wants to see a lot of points. Unless the QB plays for Texas, then he is fair game to pile-drive, and go ahead and kick him in the nuts while you are at it.
September 21, 20223 yr Like I said in an earlier post Overshown had absolutely no chance. To expect B12 refs or the NCAA to admit a mistake and/or treat a UT player fairly is simply a bridge too far.
September 21, 20223 yr “In this situation, he (UTSA quarterback Frank Harris) was clearly a passer with his eyes focused downfield and thus was defenseless and was hit in the facemask - hit in the head - with significant force,” Burks said.Yeah…clearly a passer with his eyes downfield
September 21, 20223 yr Seems like banner material. text below: 165. Targeting and Making Forcible Contact in the Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player Quarterback A7 drops back to pass. Blitzing linebacker B52 is unblocked [Overshown]. B52, with his head up, runs through A7, wrapping him up and making forcible contact with the facemask to the head of A7. B52's actions do not include an indicator of targeting. The referee throws a flag and (a) announces a foul for targeting a defenseless playerRULING: (a) The play is reviewed for all aspects of the targeting ruling: whether there was an indicator of targeting, whether A7 was defenseless, and whether forcible contact was made above the shoulders. Overturn the ruling of targeting and B52 is not disqualified.

Yeah…clearly a passer with his eyes downfield It doesn't matter if he was defenseless. There was no indicator of targeting. The NCAA didn't point to one. This is a straight screw job. I literally pulled this exact pull from the NCAA's official case book as an example of NOT targeting. This needs to get in front of Sark and the media. NCAA has to identify the indication of targeting on the play. There was none.

September 22, 20223 yr The appeal being denied by the Big12 isn't surprising. They would extend the suspension if they could.

Like Poona Ford and that defensive holding against OSU, Quinn will no doubt be called for "Offensive Tomfoolery" - 15 yards after getting sacked. Quinn should not have done that
September 22, 20223 yr Big 12 was never going to overturn. if they deem it forcible nothing else matters as it relates to defenseless player. but hey at least we will save lives, right? because that was what this was all about.

September 22, 20223 yr I am baffled by the idea that a hit on a QB looking downfield about to pass is a hit on a defenseless player. I mean aren't most QBs looking downfield about to pass on passing plays? And that QB was hard as fuck to tackle, I don't see any evidence Overshown was trying to hurt him just bring him down. Overshown himself thought it was a clean hit. Was that ignorance on his part? Was he poorly coached? Seems more likely the rules are vague and arbitrary in this regard.

September 22, 20223 yr Fuck it - hit a tired Tech with a fresh Demarvion in the second half. He will knock them the fuck out!
September 22, 20223 yr Perhaps in the future the super conferences will conclude that the ncaa is a waste of space and $. It should be gutted and rebuilt, from the ground up, or simply replaced by a new entity designed by the conferences to be independent but not mindless and worthless.
September 22, 20223 yr Popular Post yet no suspension for Dallas Turner for driving Ewers into the ground with all his weight trying to injure him after he already threw away the ball. Edited September 22, 20223 yr by dr99

Good grief you are insufferable. I know you can’t comprehend, but there was nothing that they deemed forcible. It’s the defenseless part they they fell back on and by watching the play and by RULE a face mask that hits the head is not targeting by itself. It’s been spelled out on this thread and the others. I’m sorry you still want to be a jackass. The intent to “save lives” that you’ve mentioned is ok, but that’s not what happened here. I hope you have your helmet on when Derka shoulder checks you.
September 22, 20223 yr Wouldn't a blindside QB sack also be defenseless since his eyes are down field?

It should be gutted and rebuilt, from the ground up, or simply replaced by a new entity designed by the conferences to be independent but not mindless and worthless. For what it’s worth, I chatted with a retired AD who spent decades overseeing several of the largest programs in college sports… He was confident that the NCAA will eventually be disbanded, and a consortium of the major programs will form an external regulatory body (example he gave was the IRS) to enforce rules, oversee NIL, etc.
September 22, 20223 yr Targeting suspensions bleeding into the next game has always and will always be so fucking stupid.
September 22, 20223 yr What the hell did Overshown do to the big 12 refs? That’s 2 out of three games they’ve called him for false targeting.

September 22, 20223 yr Wouldn't a blindside QB sack also be defenseless since his eyes are down field?Don’t do that
