October 20, 201411 yr Side of the helmet? Yes. Crown? No. If you pause it at 1:01 you see the top of the helmet (maybe the right half of the crown, but certainly the official "crown" of the helmet) hit his face-mask first. Not to mention, by leaving his feet at a defenseless (their definition, not mine) player, it constitutes targeting. I don't like the rule, and I love the block, but the way the rule is written, that is (in my opinion) targeting.
October 20, 201411 yr ..... It is close' date=' but if you go still by still, the first contact is the crown of the helmet and the facemask of the LSU player. Probably fits the definition of targeting that is currently in play.[/quote'] Agreed
October 20, 201411 yr Physics comes into play. Two bodies moving that fast and everything is going to connect. I think this is crap to the most.
October 20, 201411 yr Plenty of blame to go around on offense. WRs had trouble getting releases. PT had trouble with accuracy on mid-range passes. OL struggled against pressure. Forrest made a lot of tackles but too many were 7 yards downfield. McWilson is NOT going to like film on 18's TD run in the 2nd half. He wanted no part of that runner. The effort Forrest was giving changed dramatically in the 2nd half. And again, they are not running the Air Raid, Brown has got to open it up and stop being so predictable. More North and South and a lot less East and West passing. And yes, McWilson was pathetic on that TD too.
October 21, 201411 yr Les Miles says the SEC is reviewing the hit. Are they going to review the hit on Boom too?

Baker gets his entire body in front of the guy and the real hit is shoulder to shoulder.
October 22, 201411 yr Beckwith says he did NOT think it was a helmet to helmet shot. He thought it was a good hit and Dorian got him pretty good. Said he just got the breath knocked out of him and that's the reason he was bent over. He's probably lucky Dorian didn't go lower. He might have some broken ribs.
