[day-day]

From NCAA rules:

Targeting and Making Forcible Contact
With the Crown of the Helmet
ARTICLE 3. No player shall target and make forcible contact against an
opponent with the crown of their helmet. The crown of the helmet is the top
segment of the helmet; namely, the circular area defined by a 6-inch radius
from the apex (top) of the helmet. This foul requires that there be at least one
indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul. (Rule
9-6) (A.R. 9-1-3-I)

Note 1: “Targeting” means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes
of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a
legal block or playing the ball. Some indicators of targeting include but are not
limited to:
• Launch. A player leaving their 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.

I always hate watching Georgia win, but it especially stinks when it happens on the same day as a Bama loss.

 

[day-day]

Weird to think Bama beat this UGA team.

Some Tennessee fans think they have the Georgia game in the bag since UT beat Bama and Bama beat UGA.

They're destroying Texas. Even I will root for anyone but Tennessee for that.

Seems unlikely because Nico isn't good. If they had a QB I think they'd stand a chance. Anyone who can make Beck throw some INTs has a chance and Tennessee might be able to do that with their defense

Thanks for reminding me. I was honestly sitting here wondering if my memory of that game was actually a mushroom trip. But no…..we actually beat these guys. Somehow.

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

Weird choice and play call by UGA but it doesn't really matter

No thanks. I don't want Kirby to look good. Ever.

No thanks. I don't want Kirby to look good. Ever.

I've lived in Texas for a long, long time. Just over the border in NM now. The Longhorn fans are the worst in the country. Georgia fans are humble by comparison. I can't stand them.

May see if Texas can execute an onside kick as good as USC can.

Oops...maybe not.

This UGA team will BOAT RACE tennersee.

welcome to the SEC UT.....oh and OU this year...its the best conference in the country ever week!

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

Wonder if Texas considers going with Arch moving forward. Idk how good he is but Ewers is crazy inconsistent and essentially has zero elite traits

 

[CrimsonJazz]

Good.

I don't know man. This league is less predictable than I expected.

Probably because with some of the clowns we have officiating college football these days, the games would be 6 1/2 hours long?

Really should just let the broadcast booth make the calls. I mean...they are not always right but seem to be better than the zebras on the field!

this is a great call! lol

I think this UGA team is like the mid2010-s Bama teams that learned from their losses and then went on a rampage. UGA was unceasing tonight, looked like Bama of 10 years ago. I doubt they lose another game.

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

Tennessee doesn't have the offense to push UGA. frankly the team in the SEC with the best shot to beat them would be Texas in a rematch if Arch is any good. Ewers is just aggressively mediocre.

Maybe. But Beck has 8!!!! Picks in the last 4 games and one of those games he threw 0. If he keeps that up especially against talented defenses it's going to bite them.
