Targeting Inconsistency

Starter
Last night it seemed to me that Alabama was hitting hard with their heads down. I saw 3 plays where I am pretty sure a certain NU player would have been thrown out ( and has) for doing same. So my question is, Why?

Are the NC officials calling less targeting than B1G during the year ?

Are the NC officials instructed to "let em play" and not be a factor?

Is the SEC allowing more head down hitting than the B1G?

Is a certain team getting more scrutiny?

 
Very good question. I wondered about the same thing. A sketching targeting call may have cost us a game last year. (Iowa). I'd like to know why us, but not Bama?

Our first home game against Fresno State proved to me that officials have no idea what targeting is after Chris Weber got kicked out of the game for a BS targeting call

 
There were some cheap shots IMO from Bama that would've had Nate ejected. No doubt about it.

I think these are two of the plays in question:

The first one I think is really iffy, but based on the actual definition of the rule, it could've been called. That would've been a tough call to make in real time.

The second link there is more egregious and should've been called targeting, imo.

agreed. That first one, could call it probably wouldn't. I think they made the right call onow that one. The second was definitely a targeting call. Although maybe they should have just thrown him out after the first one considering it was the same player (#2 Tony Brown I believe) on both tackles.
Edit: just kidding the first one looks like #10 but I swear #2 had another questionable hit at some point early on in the game
