Can anybody tell me what targeting is?
The play reviewed for targeting in Bonner seemed like targeting to me. Sure the CSU player didn't leave his feet but he planted and lunged forward, led with the crown of his helmet, and put it straight into the chin of Bonner. Seemed very intentional to me. I've seen plays that were called targeting that the offensive player lowered their head at the last second with clearly no intent by the defensive player but this one wasn't targeting. Inconsistency on calls like that is what drives me nuts in college football.

Unless it's a USU player that dove into the back of a UNLV player's leg. But he led with the helnet so he got ejected.

Re: Can anybody tell me what targeting is?
I support trying to find ways to reduce head injuries. But the targeting rule has to be the worst thing that has ever happened to college football. In practice, it is entirely subjective, there is zero consistency in the application and interpretation, and the penalties are way too harsh. I would also like to see if there is any evidence to support that the rule has contributed to reducing head injuries.

Terrible no call. Much worse than the Moore targeting last week

Re: Can anybody tell me what targeting is?
The only thing I could think of was that the player pushed him with his hands but looked like the helmet got him. Bonner probably would have been out with a concussion if the guy caught him with the crown if the helmet with how hard he got hit. They never really showed a good close replay on it so it was hard to tell.

Just watched again and he should have been called for targeting. I’ve seen a lot less get called than that one.
What was CSUs coach so mad about after that call he should have been thanking the refs not yelling at them

Targeting is the way officials keep school from small conferences from beating schools from larger conferences.
