Targeting

[Gage County]

We lost Mo Berry for targeting. Will he be back next week? I don't know what the rule entails. Why I'm asking is Michigan just had LB Khaleke Hudson ejected for targeting. It's the 3rd quarter if that matters.

I believe if in first half its that game only.  If in second half its the rest of that game and the first half of the next game.

That's what I thought but the announcers for the Michigan game said Barry (correct spelling this time) would be out next week. So Barry in, Hudson out the first half.

Did Barry do it in the first half?

1st & 15 at NEB 28

(8:33 - 2nd) Sawyer Smith run for no gain to the Neb 28 for a 1ST down NEBRASKA Penalty, personal foul (Mohamed Barry) to the Neb 14 for a 1ST down

So he's back for Michigan.

So I do know the rule. The Mich announcers probably didn't know when Barry was tossed.

That's how I read it. There is also a good article about four misunderstandings about the targeting rule.

Really dont think Barrys should have been called targeting. Felt it was more of a personal foul. But, who the f#&% really knows what targeting is, one ref calls it one way and another ref a different way.

I think the targeting rule is so positive, and forward thinking that we need to apply the concept of protecting athletes from themselves to other sports as well. 

 

Therefore I propose that we video and review the back swing of every golfer and long drive competitor.  We know that excessive twisting of the back leads to injuries, so a maximum angle of the club will be applied and if the back swing exceeds this angle, the player will be automatically disqualified from the competition.

 

In tennis we know that severe tennis elbow is related to racket speeds and torque.  Therefore any serve over 100 mph will be automatic grounds for disqualification from a tournament.

 

In womens volleyball, any impact from the volleyball to an opposing player with excessive speed has the potential to cause lifelong injuries including CTE.  Therefore any hitter striking a ball in such a way that the ball hits an opposing player above the waist, with forceful or high velocity will be automatically ejected.

 

Rodeo is completely unsafe therefore any athlete who merely sends in an entry fee to a rodeo event will be deemed insane and automatically banned from any NCAA sport for life.

When you really look at it closely, I don't think it was that much contact.

 

But you're never going to get the benefit of the doubt when you dive at a guys head when he's already on the ground.

If you play continually fast like Alabama that hit does not look out of place.  Alabama and the SEC in general has harder hitting and less targeting called.

Apparently were going to see it called a lot this year. Another ejection in the Texas-USC game.  So that’s at least three today.

That ejection of the SC player was garbage.  The UT QB had a loose helmet so it looked bad when it came off.  If it “looks” or makes a loud noise, those soy refs throw the flag.

It was good to see a targeting call in the TCU-tOSU game get overturned.
