Targeting rule is working

FAU @ Ohio State

Pass is thrown to a receiver.  Defender could have launched and drilled the receiver in attempt for the BIG HIT, but, instead, moved his head to the side, lead with his shoulder right into the chest/shoulder of the receiver.  Big hit - rocked the receiver - but not nearly as dangerous.  Incomplete pass.  Mission accomplished by the defender, and the Rules Committee (at least in progress).

And yet, the NW-Stanford crew didn’t rule targeting on the dirty late hit at the end of the first half, nor did the replay official get involved. Even Blandino came on air and said it was clearly TGT. Can’t grasp that one.

Like I said, still in progress, but making good progress.

And replay isn't a cure all. It's still run by humans who have to make a judgement call based on what they see.
