Sunday Quickies: Targeting Controversy Edition

Getting up on Sunday morning after another Florida gut punch is never easy.

No way around it, the result of last night’s game is hard to digest.

Whether you point to a conservative offensive game plan down the stretch, turnovers, young players making mistakes due to lack of experience, or a supernatural curse involving backup quarterbacks (or maybe a combination of a dozen things), Kentucky was still the better team last night against a team ranked 9th in the country, but still ended up on the wrong side of the win-loss column.

While we can sit and talk about why that game ended the way it did, I need to use some space talking about these targeting penalties.
