Game Thread: CFP NCG: LSU vs Clemson (7pm CST | ESPN)

I think it was a cross before he stepped out. Regardless, I think it will stand.

It's an attack about big plays. Either your guys make big plays or the offense does.

What’s the saying the old MSU DC from the 90s would say? “we’re going to be running one direction or the other either way” I think

 

[Probius]

TD LSU!!!

I suppose we should bring back spearing.

I like the way the Romans did sports.

I guess it goes down to who you want to win if that is targeting or not.

 

[BamaFanInTally]

So far this PAC-12 crew is better than SEC refs, but that bar was set pretty low.

 

[uafan4life]

A pick-play for a TD against Clempson?

Yeah, I'm not angry about it...

 

[bamacpa]

Pick play is tough to defend, ain’t it Clemson ?

No, that's text-book targetting.

Crown of the helmet + launch is targetting every single time.

It was textbook. And to be frank, more dangerous for the Clemson player. It’s a really great way to break a neck or concuss yourself into early retirement.

 

[BamaMoon]

I'm all for calling "targeting" but why does it have to mean you get ejected???

Pshaw, they have nothing on the Mayans!!!

 

[Go Bama]

Not to me. Defender leads with the crown of the helmet, it's targeting.

 

[USCBAMA]

ITS NOT ROIDS ITS DEER ANTLER SPRAY, GOT IT!!!

The fighting osterinies of clemson

They want it out of the game. I’m not sure it ever will be though.

You couldn't find a picture where they were wanting the guy killed anyway?

 

[CoolBreeze]

You're about to see some Trevor running similar to the Burrow game.

 

[USCBAMA]

No, per rule it was targeting. Now there is a good debate as to whether or not it should be.

Because it takes something that serious to get players to change their behavior.

I mean he lowered his head, had no eye contact on his target, and went headfirst into the ballcarrier with almost zero contact with any other part of his body. That’s basically the rulebook.

only mitigating factor (that isn’t in the rules) for me is that the other Clemson player laying out between him and the ballcarrier prevented him from completing a tackle. You can see his right arm flailing where he wanted to wrap up but couldn’t reach because he never followed through with the hit.
