I tried looking on YouTube myself, but really only found this years Georgia game. This targeting call absolutely needs to be added to the list. Right after that joke of a call in 2011.
Why have a targeting rule if you are going to call obvious targeting in the biggest games?

How could they look at this and deem it not targeting???

Re: "Here's the harder scavenger hunt. Find a big game they won without help from the refs."
Not a big game, but years ago... NTSU (UNT?) vs tu in Austin... there was a bs call (or non-call) that resulted in a tu win (may have negated a NTSU td).
Will search for it.

The true missed targeting call of the game. Dude literally lunged to the head/neck of Isaiah Bond. pic.twitter.com/r3iYp9Z4cC

When slowed down it showed that the defender led with his shoulder and first contacted the receiver's chest, and then slid up to the head, which produced the appearance of targeting. The rules analyst explained it pretty much this way in his conclusion that this shouldn't be called.classof92 said:
Why was this not called targeting? Everybody get your panties out of your crack. It was an equally called game. The refs let the players determine the game. The conspiracy theorist are whacked out.

One of you nerds with nothing better to do needs to make this highlight reel with all of the rigged calls in sip favor. This will need to be ongoing because there are still a lot to come.

I know right, it's hilarious how the sips move the goal posts to total penalties called is somehow an indicator of gross negligence of targeting non-calls.TexasRebel said:
The final stats don't indicate that game altering penalties were not called.
ESPN is arguing this to serve their own interests?classof92 said:
Well then ESPN disagrees with you. They were talking about it on the morning show. As they said, let the players determine the game.
Final penalty stats for the game were as follows
Texas 10 - 67
ASU 6 - 50

^^^ This right here. Shoulder to the chest via slow-mo look. Blew him up so hard it whipped his head back. So if it looks like targeting on the other team, the whorns want it called. But not when it actually IS targeting by them.Nelson Wilbury said:When slowed down it showed that the defender led with his shoulder and first contacted the receiver's chest, and then slid up to the head, which produced the appearance of targeting.
