Definitely targeting, but also appears that it would have changed nothing.

Ball on the 1 and 1st down

---

And? We weren't going to run the ball with no timeouts. The interception was thrown on third down. Nothing changes with a couple more yards.

---

We had 30+ seconds. We could have run the ball.

Needed the clock. He was going downfield as best he could, but had to aim for the corner.

Aye. Watching back now and I didn't notice the far outside CB also peeling back and going in and would have made contact with KC before the goalline. Figured he might have had a shot with his momentum against the two others that were flatfooted, just plowing in.

Nah. KC made the right move for sure. Hindsight included.

I'm just trying to pick at the last few plays and ignore the rest of the disaster of the game honestly. Ugliest CFP game I can remember.....ever?

Funny part about them NOT calling it targeting. The rules are in place for safety of the tacklers/defenders. Defender gets hurt bc of helmet to helmet. No call.

Meh. It's the BDF. They were just doing what BDF crews always do at Kyle Field.

Initially I thought we would get the call.

Looked like targeting to me and the defender gets freakin hurt!

If our guy was the one hurt, we definitely get the call, IMO.

KC did have a shot. I wish he had tried. It's was already a 1st so clock was going to stop anyway.

I'm not mad at what he did. Just wish he had tried to score bc of how it ended.

Head and neck area of a defenseless receiver?

Yeah, ticks every box of the defenseless player ruling. Just as bad as that no call on the late sideline hit we took in the 1st half. Which was also on a 3rd down iirc?

Eugene Semko in the replay booth, zero chance A&M gets the call.

Thanks for continuing to review and coming to the dark side.

Did have to "get" the call.

They just have to call it correctly. This wasn't a borderline event.

WTF do we have sip graduates in the booth in our games???

If we're two yards closer, he doesn't throw.

Concepcion going out at the 4 is completely fine, but man, in hindsight of course, fighting for the plane I think he had a chance. Maybe.

---

This. I knew once he didn't score, it was trouble. I think the hit on the punt rattled him cause he wasn't fighting for extra yardage after the catch like he did all season. I think that was on the fence for kick catch interference too.

its absolutely wild that wasn't called.

That by definition is NOT targeting. The defender was standing straight up. They will never call targeting in that situation. Never. Sorry.

This was worse than the 2013 horse collar

Wasn't he the one when Cougar high clearly had a first down against sips and could win the game and he called it not a 1st down?

That one wasn't. KCI, but targeting also. He was defenseless.

The following kick was KCI on the fair catch. …no call.

You magically think klien would have called a run play when it made sense? You give him too much credit.

BS! The hit made him stand straight up.

And I have seen much less called so your Never comment is absurd.

Zero problems calling out my own BS and mistakes. I am but human.

I try to do the same.

Helmet to helmet can easily be called.

Also his crown hit the temple of our RB. Which can cause the very worse concussions.

If that is a sip receiver that 100% gets called by Eugene Semko!

He didn't leave his feet.

Whoever said it's crown to crown is on crack. It's not.

It's not targeting. Period. Don't know what else to tell you, but THAT is NOT targeting.

It does not have to be crown to crown. So you are defecting.

When the player to be penalized is laying unconscious on the ground, correct, unlikey to be called. If the receiver is laying on the ground unconscious, its almost a 100% certainty a flag is thrown. But neither of those scenarios is relevant to the rule, nor is "standing straight up".

The receiver's physical position and concentration made him vulnerable to injury. Just like any punt receiver looking up, while "standing straight up", is also vulnerable to injury.

We have all seen much less egregious targeting get called and be upheld after review.

Did you read what I actually said? I was responding to those in this thread who mentioned crown to crown.

And just because someone got hurt doesn't make it targeting. Those insisting it is aren't being honest, they are being biased. It's not targeting. Sorry. It simply isn't.

Why do you even spend time here?

If Tech is involved in a similar play and there is a no call you will be crying your @ss off.

Isn't that tech a few gifs up?
