[QUOTE="LouDou, post: 1953913, member: 749349"] The NCAA's targeting rule [B]prohibits players from initiating forcible contact against an opponent that “goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball,”[/B] according to the rulebook. That could mean leading with the crown of the helmet while making forcible contact. This was not targeting. Newton's facemask hit the QB when he sacked him and caused a fumble...which we recovered. He did not lead with the crown of his helmet. He lead with his hands and arms. This call was BS. [/QUOTE]
