Looks a bit ticky tack... but you have to be smarter than that with a 30+ point lead against Samford. Glad it wasn’t one of our guys.

The defender's helmet into the passer's helmet will always be targeting.

i think the ejection rules need to be changed regarding how long players would miss playing time.

currently, if you get ejected in the 1st half, you're out the rest of that game and can readily play in the next game. if you get ejected in the 2nd half, you're out the rest of that game and you have to sit out the 1st half of the next game.

but i think they should go to a system based on actual time. if you get ejected in the 1st quarter with 5 minutes left in that quarter, then you sit the rest of that game and the first 10 minutes of the next game. that way, you sit an entire game. no ifs, ands, or buts. get ejected with 3 minutes left in the game? then you get to sit out the next game until there's only 3 minutes left in THAT game.

in the current system, a player can be ejected with mere seconds left in the 2nd quarter and only have to sit out half of a game.

and yes, i realize that some BAMA players would be affected by this....and i'm fine with that. across-the-board fairness is good for me, no matter who it impacts.

don't do stupid things and you won't get ejected

Who monitors the timing of when the player can enter the game? What happens if the players enters the game 2 seconds early?

That's a reliable group.

Disaster waiting to happen. No way they can monitor which numbers are on the field and which are allowed to be.

 

[bamafan9201]

I believe if you play an ineligible player you’d forfeit, so I guess the coaches would monitor it

 

[rocknthefreeworld]

I honestly like the idea of a penalty box thing like they have in hockey. But it should apply to a lot of other infractions also. Violations of rules regarding player safety would lead to time in the box (facemasks, chop blocks, etc). Teams couldn't be shorted while you were out, but you would be incapable of playing for that time. Might make players pay attention to some things more due to loss of playing time.

He hit him in the chin with the crown of his helmet. Clinic violation of not one but both parts of the targeting rule. I was at the game. He knocked the shit out of him!
