The non-targeting Targeting call

[Travis]

So how do we hold a review team accountable to completely turnover the targeting call?! I have never ever seen a replay team miss something as badly as that.

That was borderline criminal.

Agree totally. So did the broadcast team.  That hit could have broken his neck.

  (Is Judy picking the refs for all our remaining games)?

That was the worst non targeting call I've seen against us. It's just as bad, but probably worse than the 2 non calls in the New Orleans Bowl against Troy. It's as blatantly obvious as those, but worse because of the potential long term injury resulting from it. 

[Green Otaku]

Bullshit. Needs to be sent to the conference office for a review.

It was about as close to a textbook example of the definition of the penalty as you can have. It could be used as training material.  How they overturned that needs to be explained.

Absolute dogshit no-call. Whoever ruled that a non-targeting should be relieved. How SL didn't come unglued is beyond me, but again, he's an emotionless garden rock. 

At minimum, should have been a basic personal foul for being a bitch and looking to cheap shot like I'm sure #20 for WKU is.

Oscar is done for the year with a broken ankle.

So we have all seen some marginal calls but this was blatant and or deliberate- all helmet and bs on lead with shoulder - referees need to be called on the carpet - this is about player safety.

Bummer...bad luck for him after coming back this year.  How about Johnson?  Will he be back this year?  If not, that would put us down 2 running backs that have played a big part in our offense this year.

[UNTLifer]

Not sure why Johnson was held out today.

His injury from the end of last week, no?

[Zeleny' Orel]

Minor or major injury?

Ahh, I forgot he rolled his ankle. Have no idea about the severity.

That's awful.   He did such a great job coming back from the injury last season, just to be put out again by a cheap shot.

Yep. Targeting reversal and this is the result. I want to know who the replay official was and his explanation. They didn’t even review it that long. Still pissed off.

Some ref needs to lose a job over this....

[Texas Stranger]

I'm sure Brett Vito knows a "veteran official" who will say it wasn't targeting.

20 for wku a real bitch ass. He should've had 10 white jerseys surrounding him. I'm surprised no one put up for Oscar after that.

I just want to talk to #20, I just want to talk.

watch it and only thing I could see was he never lowered his head and led with the crown, but it was an unnecessary hit and Adaway was already pinned. Sucks his season is finished because of a cheap shot

[southsideguy]

If you look up targeting the Webster dictionary -the y would show this a prime example.  I don't know how those clowns could say there was no targeting.  Player is wrapped up and the player comes in helmet to helmet and launched to hit him.

Only thing worse than the CUSA conference is the CUSA officials.
