*** OFFICIAL TEXAS vs Arizona st Playoff thread of Survive and Advance Again ***

Well New Year’s Day has turned out to be more eventful than I expected. Gotta give it to ASU for making it a game.
 
I Guess cause it was face mask and not crown?
The rule is “no player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown of their helmet.” It also says “no player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder.”

Taffe obviously didn’t lead with the crown, and the contact to the WR’s head was incidental to the tackle and not forcible. Taffe didn’t launch himself, and since the WR turned his head toward Taffe I’d argue that he wasn’t defenseless.

I feel bad for Auburn. The amount of hate he's gonna catch will be obscene. He'll be dealing with death threats, given the way people act these days.
