Lol. I'll be honest I didn't notice targeting until I stopped by here. Was the runner being tackled and coming down or was he sitting still?Iowa playing dirty and the B1G letting them. They don't want us in the championship game
Led with crown of helmet. Definitely targeting when you lead with the crown of your helmet.Hard to argue with that picture.
From one angle, it looked like a hell of a hit, but not targeting, but that angle it was obvious.

Your team looks slow and cannot tackle. But keep whining.

What happened before that picture? Did the shoulder make contact first? Can't look at a picture and make an assumption without seeing the play in it's entirety. Complain about something else, that play had nothing to do with the B1G and a conspiracy theory.
If only they would have called it. Probably the difference in the game. Oh wait...
I want to believe this is completely sarcastic.... but sadly I don't know anymore.It is rediculous how badly Neb has gotten screwed by the refs all year. It is like they have no idea who the Huskers are and what they mean to college Footbsll.
the Big Ten needs to get the refs in line and show Neb the respect they deserve.
You little pussy dickwads
We've had more than our fair share of targeting calls against us, peckerneck.
Of course, that's the point, it's a rough game and everyone who plays it signs up for it. You can't deny the fact all the hits we applauded as kids got us all amped up. Now, if a DB makes a tiny infraction like "hands to the face" it's an automatic first down. The game suffers for it. There are too many friggin flags. Might as well just put real flags on their waist, two hand touch and call it a day.
The game has changed, rules have changed, it doesn't make the targeting non-call accurate because of the changes. To insinuate anyone here is soft based on the discussion is ridiculous. It happened, and wasn't called.
It's dumb because we celebrate the hard hitters of the past as titans of the game and then flip the script.
Society as a whole, that's where this country is now. What was acceptable in the 60-s-90's isn't now. Personally, with how the speed of the game is now, targeting is the one new rule I appreciate. Especially now that it's not only reviewed but the ruling can be overturned.
Targeting applies to a defenseless player. The guy was running the ball and in the process of being hit by several players. It happens all the time, it is NOT targeting when a guy tries to tackle a rb and happens to hit helmets with him. Any of you that think he ran up intending to hit helmet to helmet with him are kidding yourselves.

In the rules, note 2 is clear. It's alright, the refs missed it. Thankfully, Newby didn't get hurt.
What the hell is Note 2? Do we need to move this to the Supreme Court?

This was my thought as well. hard to avoid an occasional H2H in those situations . it wouldmt have been a huge surprise though if they called it on the field but i would have been disappointed as that isnt how the rule is supposed to workTargeting applies to a defenseless player.

Gerry got the boot for doing what you described.Targeting applies to a defenseless player. The guy was running the ball and in the process of being hit by several players.

But they are all bigger faster stronger. I might be playing devils advocate here, but I feel like all of these flags every other damn play are more about protecting multi million dollar investment than actually being about player safety.
If you are referring to last years game, it wasn't close to the same. He hit a defenseless WR in the head with his head. A RB carrying the ball is NOT defenseless. Now if he ran up and speared him helmet to helmet, yes, that would be targeting, but that did not happenGerry got the boot for doing what you described.
In the bowl game Gerry was ejected for targeting for hitting a running back while carrying the ball. The announcers even mentioned how it was a perfect form tackle and there was no way it should have been targeting. Here is a gif of the hit.If you are referring to last years game, it wasn't close to the same. He hit a defenseless WR in the head with his head. A RB carrying the ball is NOT defenseless.

They said he hadn't "made a football move" on that, and i agree, a weak call. I was actually referring to Gerry getting ejected vs Iowa when he hit Tevaun Smith thoughIn the bowl game Gerry was ejected for targeting for hitting a running back while carrying the ball.

This is what we have become now - victims??? Cool. Now we whine because Iowa beats up on our players. Never thought I would see that day - but here it is staring us in the face. This is football. It is a contact sport. This is going to happen occasionally, but I cannot imagine any players deliberately trying to target knowing the penalty that can be imposed. Do we think if this was called that Iowa would have reverted to playing patty cake like our hapless group of girls?Iowa playing dirty and the B1G letting them.
