GAME Rose Bowl: Utah vs Ohio State 5pm ET ESPN

That was a hit to the head. I don't like it, but that should be targeting by the rules as we have them.

It is the definition of it but damn they need to somehow get intent into that rule. Looks like that was more physics than targeting.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Man these QBs need to slide... Major hits... And I don't mean that fake sliding shit!

He deserved to get hit like that but it is most likely targeting

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Ohio State's defense is so soft. It is crazy to watch.

The common opponents between Ohio State and Michigan this year scored 42% more points on Michigan.

 

[RobBase]

Feels like Ohio State gets hit w targeting in almost every big game they are in.

 

[NewPhoneWhoDis]

My lord.

defense needs to step up.

I've heard from fans they think it is an issue with the coordinator, but OSU simply doesn't have the talent on the defensive side of the ball. They don't have any playmakers on defense.

All tackles lead with the head.

 

[Shanemansj13]

When he goes to tackle him he is still standing, that is just bad luck

 

[fishinabarrel]

Disgusting. I don't care how depleted this defense is. There is zero pride in them

 

[Gatorchip]

Looking a bit like Ohio State just doesn't want to be there.

crazy Then that it was so much easier for all those teams to score on Michigan this year.

Need to eliminate the ejection too, ridiculous to boot a player for effort. 15 yards is plenty

Like I said, I don’t think it is a case of not playing hard. Bad scheme, inexperienced players out of position. Utah is just better. Ohio St is gonna have to put up 40+

Here's a cookie...never mind, I'm not giving you one

Looking a bit like Ohio State just doesn't want to be there.

I’m not convinced it would make a difference.

Being penalized for doing your job on defense is tough these days, That rule needs to be revised.

They have no talent on the defensive side of the ball? You say some stupid shit sometimes. I'll give you LB maybe but they have tons of highly talented guys on the line and in the backfield, they just aren't playing up that talent

 

[wazzu31]

Yeah but you would still need intent then. If you take out the ejection then it kind of defeats the purpose of the targeting rule doesn’t it?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Here's a cookie...never mind, I'm not giving you one

fuck your cookie, and your grandpa.

I wish but not likely anytime soon. It needs tweaked in some way. It’s already out of hand and it seems like they are content with this rule. Doesn’t make sense that CFB is different than NFL with that rule

Yep. Maybe only eject on extremely bad hits but then I don’t trust the discretion of the refs either.
