I tell you what.... I am willing to let Old School Cat to review that play and make a ruling. I think he is from the days when the Corps had honor. I understand if he elects to stay out of this.

I cannot be more fair than that.

I am old, but never was in the Corps. Gen X by the grace of God, 90's A&M grad.

That said, what I recall from the targeting rule was "forcible contact in the head or neck area OR contact leading with the crown of the helmet". I could be wrong, but who the fk knows anymore. I think the whole rule is stupid, and should NEVER be a DQ. Or at least give them a 2 and out. First offense DQ is garbage.

The Notre Dame play IMO was targeting. Regardless of what he was hit WITH, his head and neck was destroyed.

The A&M / Texas play while by the rule "contact" was made in the head and neck region, it was incidental at worst. I would not have thrown the flag. I am 100% not surprised it was called. And Justin Tucker has a deal with the devil that continues to this day.
