So in the USC/Colorado game, the Colorado coach went for 2 when they were down 11. Here is his explanation

Also, now I can die a completed man having now seen Rodrigo Blankenship attempt to run past NFL-worthy defenders. What in the world.

I will take the blame for this because a few weeks ago I said we need to have Hot Rod either throw or catch for a touchdown because he needs to go out a hero, and apparently Kirby read my mind and some monkeys paw poo poo happened.

Except the defender is never allowed to lead with the crown of the helmet no matter where they�re aiming on the ball carrier, and helmet to helmet is otherwise legal on a non-defenseless player (like a RB running with the ball). Just keep your head up and it doesn�t matter whether the RB goes low or not.

I appreciate the reply, I just don't see how the RB (who was the ball carrier) in the question of that play was defenseless. The RB dropped his head as the LB was coming in and there was a helmet-to-helmet collision. I just don't understand how he's defenseless according to the rules

quote:

Note 2: Defenseless player (Rule 2-27-14):

A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass.
A receiver attempting to catch a forward pass or in position to receive a backward pass, or one who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
A kicker in the act of or just after kicking a ball, or during the kick or the return.
A kick returner attempting to catch or recover a kick, or one who has completed a catch or recovery and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
A player on the ground.
A player obviously out of the play.
A player who receives a blind-side block.
A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped.
A quarterback any time after a change of possession.
A ball carrier who has obviously given himself up and is sliding feet-first
When in question, a player is defenseless.�

nobody is saying the RB in this situation is defenseless.

if you lead with the crown, whether the player is defenseless or not, it's targeting. Doesn't matter if they're defenseless, if you hit them in the stomach, etc etc. If you lead with the crown of the helmet it is targeting. This is the part that is easily fixable as you can just coach your players to not be idiots and always keep their facemask up instead of trying to submarine people.

the OTHER side of targeting is if you "forcibly" contact a defenseless player with ANY part of your body above the defenseless player's shoulders. This is the trickier one, because there are a lot of situations, especially with receivers, where they are catching a ball and coming down to the ground, and are thus "defenseless", and a safety is running over on the play trying to obliterate them in order to shake the ball loose. Understandably, receivers generally feel this coming and curl up, which lowers their head/neck area and causes the defender to run into their head instead of what they were originally lined up for.

edit: also whoever this is needs to be suspended

Yea, but you�ve still gotta fill the remaining 9 slots with someone. Clemson and OSU and Notre Dame look like a tier below, but they aren�t losing, so sure they belong. Past that it�s a bunch of flawed teams that have still managed to win almost all of their games, and Florida is in that group. You could rearrange any of the teams between 5 and 15 and have a perfectly valid ranking.

I never thought Tua was bad, you dummy, I just thought he had a few dumb freshman decisions in the title game last year. He got way better as did the rest for the offense. I was mostly defending Hurts as a good player anyway, and defending Saban for sticking with him as long as he did
