Here’s What An Illegal Helmet-To-Helmet Hit, Or At Least Targeting, Looks Like

Most of you probably aren’t college football referees but there’s a pretty good chance all of you could do a better job than the refs in last night’s game. We can spend hours discussing this call or that call, the fumble-that-was-ruled-a-fumble-but-then-magically-wasn’t-after-the-review, but this particular post is devoted to the viscous hit on Gunner Kiel by a one Chauncey Lanier.

That’s a no-call in the eyes of the AAC refs, not a totally illegal crown-to-helmet hit or at least targeting in the slightest.
