Wing Targeting Call

Do Wing even lower his head/helmet? I couldn't really see in the video, but it looked like they just bumped into each other as the ball arrived, or right after he arrived. There was zero chance that that was anything close to a dangerous play.
 
I would 100% agree with you, if he can, he has already seen it and the wheels will get rolling on that first thing tomorrow. I'm just not convinced that a 2022 rule that was APPROVED FOR 2022 still applies, but I hope it does. We pulled up the ESPNU replay just to rewind it back to watch that play on the larger screen and it amazes me that they reviewed the hit. We had to see 3 extra minutes of commercials to get to the start of the 4th quarter and you can just hear the referee with seemingly his mic breaking up announce the disqualification and Peyton I think is on the field asking why. It seems like the whole thing was conducted in such a covert manner.
The other thing I was thinking was because of all the chippy action in this game, the fact that our reputation is that we engage in a lot of what Idaho was doing that our guys didn't exactly fall for, we will get a special crew assigned out of Ogden to make sure the game in Pocatello is called much closer. I hope not, but I fear it, if for no other reason, Idaho was just a straight up bunch of punks both on the field and on the sidelines.
The rule wasn’t just for the 2022 season. It still applies.

Google AI:
The NCAA has established an appeals process for targeting calls made in the second half of college football games, which is applicable in the 2025 season. If a player is ejected for targeting during the second half, their conference can submit a request to the NCAA national coordinator of officials for a review. This process is only available in games with instant replay capabilities. The appeal will be reviewed based on video footage, and if it is clearly obvious that the player was incorrectly penalized for targeting, the call will be overturned, and the player will be cleared to play in the first half of their team's next game. This rule was approved to address concerns about gross miscarriages of punishment, particularly when the same action results in drastically different consequences depending on the game clock.
 
Looks pretty weak to me. Watching the Oregon yesterday, I learned that it’s targeting if leading with the “crown of the helmet”



Tough to tell from that angle….i suppose it possible he led with his crown, but I don’t like the call.
I had a good view of it and it was the right call. The angle of this camera is pretty misleading, I knew it was targeting immediately.

Okay, just so you know, I am not the appellate authority, but maybe you can pass this along to someone to make sure they know. My point was that if they can appeal, I'm sure the coaching staff knows and has seen the play to make that happen.

How did you get the replay?? I’ve been trying to find one

Read carefully from the post you quoted:

"We pulled up the ESPNU replay just to rewind it back to watch that play on the larger screen and it amazes me that they reviewed the hit."

It aired on ESPNU, someone said, starting at 3 pm Mountain. We turned the game on with 5 minutes left in the fourth and hit rewind to watch the play. There was no replay of it and as far as I don't think the announcers ever referenced it.

I get streaming, I was trying to find the game on demand. Anywhere. I got my hopes up.
 
I love that the acc allowed espn to broadcast the booth review discussion as it was happening. Should be a rule that all conferences are required to allow the broadcast to air the discussion. It would certainly help to understand what the officials are thinking.
I loved that. I can see why they would be hesitant to do that though. I think it would help cull the bad officials from the game.

I'm not sure I get the connection there on booth reviews and bad officiating.

At the end of the day, they are a lot like cops. They protect their own. The best example I have, look how long the maybe the worst MLB umpire, Angel Hernandez, was on the job. That guy was arrogant, baited people, and was on sports center more than a lot of star players for making bad calls.

Totally agree. That's why I don't think it'll last. Wait till they broadcast the umpires arguing about a call or them just straight up blowing one and the replay of the conversation ends up going viral or something.
