Third Saturday in October

I may be losing my mind, but on the slow motion it looks like it was destined to be wide left and got deflected back toward the middle.

 

I think that is due to the camera angle. The broadcast shot from behind, you can see that it looks to be on a straight trajectory inside the left upright, and gets deflected more central.

 

Also, yeah, Danielson can get out now, but I hope Nessler goes back to ESPN with the SEC. He's one of the best.

 

He is so good at just saying what he sees accurately and quickly.

 

Our punter is robbing the university with his scholarship

 

It's possible. It might just be that the spin changed and gives it that illusion.

 

I choose to believe it was wide without the help from the Bammer.

And also that McGrath did it on purpose.


Makes the win that much sweeter, imo.

 

Called shot, gonna bank it off Fatty's hands and over. Just let him hop through the left A-gap, his arms are a little stumpy.

 

The Gumps are grumps

I like how the journalist just states it as a matter of fact that it was indeed targeting. There is an angle that shows shoulder to shoulder contact. Mysteriously they didn't link it

 

Objectively - it was targeting.

Subjectively - lol, [uck fay] you, Bama.

 

And it is 90% a dumb ass rule, anyway.

And [uck fay] Bama

 

Why is shoulder to shoulder contact targeting?

 

Doesn't lower head, not leading with crown, first contact wish shoulder.

 

If that is targeting, a QB should just lower their head at rushers. Targeting every time.

 

The SEC proved it isn't the NFL yet for how it treats the QBs with kiddie gloves. Thank [uck fay].

Rules for targeting:

• Launch-a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area
• A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground
• Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area
• Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet

Thomas didn't launch nor did he crouch and extend upward. He lowered his helmet but didn't lead with it to make forcible contact to the head or neck area. It doesn't meet any of the 4 indicators.

The first shot does look bad, but luckily the refs examined multiple angles and concluded the same as the commentators did.
