NCAA releases video explaining updated targeting, replay rules

On Thursday, the NCAA released a video outlining how the rules for instant replay will change for the 2019 college football season, specific to Targeting. Dean Blandino, the National Director of Instant Replay, walks the viewer through the changes in rules, and how that plays out on the field.

After explaining the rules, Blandino shows how they would be applied on a handful of plays from the previous season.

The biggest take away is that it will now be more difficult for a Targeting call to be enforced, because the option for the replay official to allow it to stand is no longer an option.
