I don't think that play should be considered targeting but I don't agree with this either. An 18 year old isn't thinking about getting brain damage when they're 40. Teenagers don't really think of s#!t like that. There should be some responsibility put on others and not all of it put on 18 year olds.

Then don’t play.

Does this targeting rule need to be modified? That quarterback wasn’t defenseless and CTB was just trying to make a solid defensive play. 
This hurts. Cam is one of our best players

Yes

 

[PaulCrewe]

All because Williams doesn’t know how to catch a ball.   Glad when we have a different safety 

And the topper is flying up on the run fake letting the TE run free

 

[LumberJackSker]

If the ncaa really cared about safety then why is it that the players who are targeted by such vicious hits allowed to keep playing? They dont even have to sit out a play? But if you're untouched and your helmet falls off you have to leave for a play.

This is BS...what is the defensive player to do when the QB is running. Let him score...this is ridiculous...why not just give the game to Minnie....we lost one of our best defensive players

 

[Mierin]

Then don’t play. 

You 100% missed the point. It's not as simple as saying "if you don't wanna get hurt don't play football." There should be some responsibility put on the adults to protect kids who are 18 when they make this decision, to attempt to prevent the worst.

 

[Archy1221]

Should be targeting in their 32 at the end of that play!

 

[EngineeringHusker]

Anyone know how often targeting gets called on the other team? It sure feels a lot like the holding call issue. I'm not sure I remember the last time.

This +10000

There's helmet to helmet and targeting....The super slow mo can get the film to show what you "want", but not the "intent".  I hate that crap.

The QB doesn't see the hit coming and is going downward.

OF COURSE THE HIT IS A BIG ONE!  THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT f#&%ING TARGETING YOU STUPID BOOTH SUITS!

 

[Big Tom]

As great as CTB is, that is now 2 of the past 3 games he is 100% responsible for a complete swing in momentum. I hate targeting rule but it was clearly targeting. 

 

[knapplc]

And Alante Brown returns that kick, burns time off the clock, and puts Nebraska behind the 25 yard line.

Perfect.

I understand your point I just don’t care.

No. It wasn't
