Does anyone understand what targeting is in college football?
You can spend hours reading the exact rule, but the problem is this penalty is enforced so differently throughout college football reading the rule doesn’t help.
It is similar to the NFL catch rule where you might as well just roll the dice to see if a pass is going to be called a catch or not. On top of that, one of the worst parts of the rule is the part where a player can not make “forcible contact against an opponent with the crown of his helmet.
