That's a nice screen grab.

Where's his hand in relation to the neck of Fitz?

Just a poorly written rule and one that is very subjective. I don't like it.

An even better shot, @planomateo

agree... I couldn't get the hi-res to upload...

Those screen grabs really show what I "feel" on the call. I agree that it's a poor rule, but it was applied properly. Nice work on the images @planomateo

Ya, I know. I could get technical here but it's just the way the software optimizes and it seems to come from i-products.

There's a solution but to be honest...don't want to spend $40 on the software for something that's just happening occasionally.

I am curious. Did you try to upload them to the Gallery here? I'm wondering if you'll get the same issue.

Big Stew (#61) having to hold his own against 3 guys... not bad for a freshman.

No, it didn’t bother me enough to worry about it.

And the debate rages on like wildfire

 

[rick4bama]

We all can agree on disagreeing. This site is the only one that I know of that we all can disagree on anything and still be all Bama fans. This is all I will say about this player getting ejected for targeting. The power to be (B'ham office) said it was and it was to them. Rules or place in the game to make it safe.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

I have watched several of the LSU games this year and there is no doubt #40 is a great player and I believe he might go 1st round. I also believe he is always giving the other team "the bidness" as referee Ron Cherry said. JMO but there is entirely too much mouthing going on by all the players then again I am just old.

I may be wrong but I've seem to notice it more out of Bama this year than years past. I've always been of the same mentality as Saban tries to preach. In his words, "we don't talk to the other team."

Now...on a golf course, I'm going to say something to see if I can get in your head.

There is no question White is their best player on defense and a massive lose considering how fast we start on offense.

LSU AD Joe Alleva contacts SEC, is fighting Devin White suspension

LSU athletic director Joe Alleva has contacted the Southeastern Conference office to voice his displeasure with the targeting foul called Saturday against Devin White that'll cost the star linebacker the first half against Alabama in two weeks.

According to LSU athletic sources, Alleva has been on the the phone with league officials since the call was made last night.

There is no formal appeals process for the ruling.

White was flagged for targeting Saturday against Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald with 5:53 left in the game.

Targeting comes with an automatic ejection. And if the targeting foul occurs in the second half, the player must sit out the first half of the upcoming game. In this case, that's Alabama vs. LSU on Nov. 3 in Tiger Stadium.

Referee John McDaid reviewed the play on video and confirmed the targeting call, much to the chagrin of the LSU crowd. Fans voiced their displeasure for most of the rest of the game and continued booing when McDaid ran off the field into the chute at the north end of the stadium at game’s end.

Orgeron comments during press conference.

After the game the only clarification came from the Southeastern Conference office, which sent out a statement that read, in part, that “the QB on the play was defenseless at the time of the contact. By rule, all targeting calls are reviewed. The call was reviewed and confirmed.”

White led the SEC in total tackles last season and was third going into the weekend with 9.4 tackles a game.

Alabama leads the SEC in total offense at 564.3 yards per game and averages 54.1 points per game after the Crimson Tide dismantled Tennessee 58-21 on Saturday.

Sophomore Patrick Queen is listed as White's backup on LSU's depth chart.

You had to know this was coming.

It's Delpit in my opinion.

While White leads the team in tackles it's Delpit who leads in INT's, TFL's, and sacks.

Of course we're talking two different positions with White playing linebacker. We also have to take into account that it's the linebackers who have led LSU in tackles for the last several years.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

We're getting lucky on these targeting calls with the 10RC starting MLBer missed the 1st half vs The King due to his ejection vs the Cow College. If LSU can run the football on Bama with success then they have a shot. Can The King score 34 points vs everybody left we play? If so then Bama will make the playoffs.

 

[OldPlayer]

The LSU LB is ineligible for the first half. Can he be on the field or does he stay in the locker room? If it was a first half ejection, he would be removed from the field.

Asking for a friend.
