I am not a fan of the targeting rule. Whole lot of assumptions go into making that call.

I think "better safe than sorry" is the prevailing thought behind that. Can't say I disagree, football is naturally violent enough, no reason to be excessive.

That said, I do think there's times where a slight movement is made at the last second by the offensive player where a legal hit shifts to illegal. But the intent of the defense was not to be like. Maybe it's just what I see, but I feel like refs should be more aware of that.

Yeah, Mich looked like a mess before half. I wouldn't wanna be in that locker room at half to get Harbaugh's wrath.

Does purdue not suck this year?

It seems that way...or maybe Louisville is simply not good? If Purdue goes 6-6 I'm going to flip out. I don't think I could handle their "rebuild" taking off in year one and ours taking the full 4.

Well, Kevin Sumlin may be the first coach fired this season...
