Delpit'***** on Ruggs: How Was This Not Targeting??
- Thread starter BamaMoon
- Start date
On a side note, Tua had his jewels hammered on a dead play. Why did he have to sit out a play? Why was a flag not thrown on that play?
And I agree with you, but the reversal did effectively say to the crowd there is no conspiracy.
Yep - cannot hit the QB below the waist, no matter the circumstances. We even had that called in us once when our defender was pushed down and falling. The hit on Tua was clearly below the waist, as evidenced by his “injury”.
Generally I like Danielson, but his silence on many clear penalties like that sorta chaps me.

I wonder if the announcers have rules on what they can and can't say about the officials. I know there were a couple of times during the game where they let something slip about they thought there was holding etc. I know on that one play, where Burrow was running for his life and dumped it to a running back who went about 25 yards with it, they mentioned a crack back block that should have been a penalty. I think they were genuinely surprised when the call was "offsides Alabama". Just more proof that LSU could do anything they wanted, and they would only call the obvious false start or something like that.
LSU got away with several blatant penalties, the targeting by Delpit, the hit on Tua, the holding by their OL which Gary and Brad both pointed out. Another play looked like pass interference to me when the DB was behind the WR and broke up the play. It appeared to me that he completely had the WR wrapped up and should have been called for PI.
I will add this, I don't like the targeting call and I think they should rework it but as it is written that was (fairly obvious) targeting by Delpit.

I'm beginning to think the same thing. Is Bama so fast that the refs are having a hard time watching everything?
I am totally confused now. D. White'***** was not targeting. This was targeting by the SEC / NCAA definition.
Probably.... I call HS football and YES... it is hard to catch everything.
BUT... when you have TV and official reviews to fall back on.... NOTHING like this should be missed.
Coach O acted like LSU score a TD when they "reversed" the call for targeting. The whole stadium cheered that way too. GD said he was afraid they wouldn't like the replay officials decision. EVERYBODY thought it was targeting.
Total PC from B'ham.

It was targeting. He should have been ejected. I don't care either way, so long as Ruggs is ok.
But, consider this. LSU's OL held all night long, their DBs held and interfered all night long, and their DL lined up offsides almost every play.
And we still stomped a mudhole in them and walked it dry. Nearly 600 total yards of offense, and they didn't hit 200!

I agree on this. I heard Aaron Suttle who covers Bama say this morning on the radio he was going to be concerned for his well being if they actually tossed Delpit. While the call was not correct it may have been in the best interest of all Bama fans.
Agree that LSU was holding all night. Buggs and Quinnen Williams were being held on almost every play as were our receivers. Hope we don't see this trend continue as Auburn makes on living on defense holding receivers. LSU had only 3 penalties the entire game a for 15 yards. We had 6 for 60.
Sure seemed like more than 6! I can think of a couple/3 false starts, a couple off sides, a pass interference and irv's unsportsmanlike...right off the top of my head.
So, the game is to be defiled and debased because LSU fans are threatening to descend to the level of Russian soccer hooligans?
I think that we all agree that it shouldn't be. I believe that the officials were intimidated. I was surprised that they threw the flag in the first place. And I think that something needs to be done about that. Because if this is what college football has become then we need to put it out of its misery.
It should not at all but it probably did save some Bama faithful from physical and/or mental thuggery.
If this is true and they didn’t call targeting because of rowdy fans, then all hope is lost.
How long before other teams adopt this mentality? Fire up the fan base before the big game to the point where the officials are frightened, then you can do anything you want.
Except, in LSU’s case, win. Karma was a herd of elephants.

I saw it as a give-back non-call. They were probably hosed a bit on the D. White call a couple weeks back, so they get away with one here. If this were a holding thing, I would be ok with that. But this is a rule that is supposed to be there in the interest of player safety. So, they should not be flippant about it. But whatever. They got curb stomped either way.
