Title of this video is misleading as the targeting no-call was not discussed at all. Click bait headlines are one thing. Lies are another. Complete BS.
They should have called it. The hit on Bond by ASU was clearly targeting. But they didn’t call the skat pull into the endzone, and missed a bunch of others.
@@basscat2107Nick Saban did not say a word. The video says, “Nick Saban on…” So, it’s total BS. A long video has one sentence from Pat and it never gets discussed again, but the video title makes you think it will be 70% of the video.
This analysis is priceless. I want Nick Saban to write life coaching self help book! His memoir if available would be worth tons to study and manage crisis situation with game analogy!
That was not a dirty hit. It was text book form with one exception. By rule, you cannot hit the player in the head when they are defenseless. That was text book targeting.
The rule specifically says that you cannot "attack" the head and neck area. Clearly this was not a deliberate attack but just incidental contact on a clean hit
Come on! Your headline was completely misleading! Coach Saban didn't say a word about the officials completely ignoring the targeting on the Arizona State receiver in the Peach Bowl. It's appalling that you would resort to lying to get people to watch or podcasts!
Nick is the best personality to listen too talking about college football. Theres some people who literally cannot fail at anything. Nick Saban is one of them. Go Buckeyes
These "interviews" are instant HOF material. I was at Alabama when The Bear retired and then died too soon. Having Pat and Coach Saban talk and discuss this sport is priceless gold! Roll Tide!
7:30 If... If and but's were nuts and candy wouldn't this be a Merry Christmas. If he makes it then what are we talking about? Greatest pep talk ever...
Definitely was targeting. Defenseless player hit above the neck. Arizona state should have had a chance to kick a field goal in regulation to win the game. If they are not going to enforce the rule then get rid of it. It should have been called targeting by the book. I’m not a fan of either team but I feel bad State possibly got beat by the refs.
it was NOT TARGETTING. it was “incidental contact”, Taaffe was clearly not intentionally leading with his helmet. finally, the crown of the helmet was never involved. it was face mask to face mask. and the refs agree. MEANWHILE ASU CHEATED by violating NCAA RULE 9-3-2B: “a team mate can not grasp lift or pull the ball carrier to assist in forward progress.” the ASU o-lineman CLEARLY lifted skattebo up and over the goal line. it’s in 4KHD on 100 cameras. the most egregious and obvious violation of that rule in the history of college football. ASU should have had that touchdown called back and should have been penalized 5 yards for that violation. ASU WERE GIVEN 7 free points that should have been called back. and they still lost. and now all the western sand aggy fans are crying about a correctly called non-targetting non-foul. you have no idea how lucky Asu Is that the refs let them get away with murder with the 9-3-2B violation.
You must have missed the hit Isaiah Bond from Texas took in the third quarter huh? Both were waved off so stop rattling off nonsense. If you're going to complain at least bring both hits up for debate. Texas got hosed in that no call if anything which in itself would have changed the outcome. Call it down the middle bro
ASU had way more help from the refs than a textbook non targeting call. At least 4 noncalls went ASU's way. Most importantly HELMET TO HELMET CONTACT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN TARGETING you emotional responder. Helmets touch every play. Lets take away the drama and rationally view it. First it was a tipped ball = no defenseless receiver. No launch. Never left his feet. Perfect upright tackling/arm wrap.... the kind of tackling the league is teaching/promoting. Zero intent. No crown of helmet. Basically facemask to facemask. No flag thrown on field. Was a bang bang play. Did it look bad? Yes. An emotional response would say yes targeting. Though upon further review with slow mo it's easy to break it down. Just like the booth did. One huge problem is plenty of textbook examples of actual targeting or non targeting have gone either way. It's inconsistently called and that leads to this type of drama. The Horns won after trying their hardest to give ASU several chances to win.
Yes they were not the same at all. One was a body hit the other one was helmet to helmet. Hard hit on a defenseless player is fine as long as it's not helmet to helmet! Very simple
@bradcarver9437 read the Fckn rule book bro! So sick of you whinny Azz Arizona fans read the freaking rule book! It dam sure was targeting on bond! Read it! Good Lord! It got reviewed and waved off the same as the one to your boy! Read the rules on targeting because I'm sick of reading it for you clowns
Well they did not discuss no call but McAfee talked about it and Saban shook his head in agreement! Otherwise this is one of the best segments I have ever heard on any sports talk show!!! Coach Saban keeps Mc-on-track 👍
I was so happy to finally watch a great game. Total classic. With that said Arizona State had that one stolen man 😭 They looked like the better team but I still can’t figure Texas out
I loved Sark’s intimate pep talk w/ his kicker. Nothing wrong with telling a kid you’re proud of him and u love him no matter what happens as a result of this kick (which is what I as a father and a coach imagine is what Sark was saying). Def don’t want to mess w/ the kid’s prep/routine. That said, we’re all human. It was an intense/emotional moment, and Sark did what he thought was best. That’s how I want to win/lose.
@dylanalexander9581 yeah, they were an 8-5 team without a QB, Oregon did the same. Coincidentally they just shut down an SEC team who "should have been in the playoff"
"emotional disposition" before the big games is key...Coach Saban nails it...again...Coacg Cig for IU may have forgot that lesson from his most important mentor...
Click bait BUT... the hit by the Texas player was probably targeting. But the ASU defender who hit the tx WR during that late interception probably got lucky he wasn't called for targeting.
The coach approached his kicker with a sly grin and said, "If you hit the field goal post, you're NFL-bound. Just hit that post." The kicker smiled back confidently, "Got it, coach."
It was actually miss this field goal so we get to overtime and get Vegas paid on the OVER!! If he makes it the total is 51 which would have made Vegas lose big-time. The Over/under was 52.…...it's all about getting Vegas paid
Is Nick Saban ok? He seems to be bobbing his head up and down throughout this interview. I haven't heard of him having any health issues. I sure hope he doesn't.
Limit non graduate transfers to one per two years of eligibility. Limit total eligibility to 6 years (no redshirt gains). Cap NIL at a per player level (50k per year of eligibility). Eliminate FCS v FBS matchups. All teams play a minimum of 9 conference games. All p4 v G5 games will be played at G5 schools. All of this will bring positive changes to CFB and increase the level of competition as well as the importance of regular season games.
What I don't understand is the committee lets Notre Dame play as an independent team, not even in a conference. They don't even play in a conference championship game, while Georgia is getting players banged up and hurt. So....when George's quarterback goes out, that favors Notre Dame. I don't see why the committee can't that is an unbalance situation, when a team is resting while Georgia is playing in the SEC championship game. So...if the committee is going to let Notre Dame play as an independent team...then they should let a team with three losses make the playoffs. Because obviously Oregon who was 13-0 was a no-show and prove they're not ready
By doing anything different with a kicker is basically setting yourself up for either really good or terribly bad Coaching. You know your kicker’s personality and he’s already missed one and now whatever you say is not going to change the outcome but it will change perception of you as a coach by viewers.
Great no call in my opinion. Rule specifically says that you cannot "attack" with the helmet and he clearly didnt. These guys just happened to be roughly the same height so helmets touched as he makes a clean tackle.
The NO CALL for TARGETING for Texas WHEN IN COMPLETE DEFINITION OF TARGETING SHOWS NOTHING MORE THAN NCAA IS FIXED & RIDICULOUS. THEY’RE SHOULD NEVER BE A FLAG THROWN AGAIN FOR TARGETING. FIXED THE GAME PERIOD
While I have great respect for Coach Saban and his accomplishments, I also know that his job as an analyst with ESPN includes maintaining the narrative of his employer. ESPN is a significant media rights holder of the SEC. ESPN wants the SEC to stay the best football conference in the nation in order to maintain their investment in the SEC. So, bias is going to be a major effort to maintain that media value so ESPN can obtain the necessary advertisers and sponsors to pay the SEC member schools. Unfortunately, the ESPN/SEC narrative is imploding on itself. Instead, Notre Dame and its Independence is winning college football without any conference affiliation. So much for proving which conference is best!
The seeding and matchups were completely asinine. That has to change before next year. Oregon and OSU playing each other while PSU got beat by both and played SMU and Boise. Then you have UGA potentially having to beat Texas 3 times. None of the seeding made sense.
Idk I'm not a fan of texas or asu but if you go back to the earlier call where the texas reciever was in the air defenseless and got rocked his head snapped back and hit the ground which is what the rule is supposed to prevent. Dude launched at the reciever as well didn't directly hit him in the head more like the throat but the way dudes head snapped back that was targeting and why the rule was invented to prevent head injuries. The next one where the asu reciever caught the pass and it was helmet to helmet the texas back just closed in but didn't launch and the recievers head didn't snap back or hit the ground. There's not much you can do as a defender just wrapping up and making a good tackle. Thing is it ended up evening out and going to overtime and texas won.
The refs didn't call the targeting on texas. Didn't call the second targeting on Arizona, which led to an interception. Didn't call the offensive pass interference on Arizona. The refs missed calls on both sides.
So your justification in watching a player get cte on national television when there are rules to prevent that is “well there were tons of other missed calls”. Come on man be better
Give me a break, that hit on Bond was closer to targeting. Man, people love to hate on Texas. I think the horns come out next week after hearing how they will get steamrolled by OS, they come out and play like they are supposed to. I think they matchup well with OS. Texas 35-34.
Don't even know what to say about Nick Sabin.. He's the greatest to ever coach in College football and it's not close. Bama was fans were spoiled through his greatness.. I'm a diehard Penn St fan but I've always like Sabin since his Michigan St days.
No one talks about skattebo playing with possible concussion got helmet to helmet early in the game in the trench, after that he was on the side throwing up, dont have concussion protocol like NFL JUST SAYING
Everyone is so up in arms about this targeting call, like the refs didn't help out ASU all game? How many holds didn't get called? ineligible men downfield? Skattebo touchdown should of been a flag. You cannot have it both ways.
This is the play that had the most impact on the outcome. If they call it, ASU could win it right there. Not to call it had far more influence on the outcome, and there is no excuse for not calling that. They need to throw out targeting altogether if they can’t make a simple call. I didn’t care who won.
How come the best coach in the world could not win with 3 star men at MSU, or in the pro's? But the worst coach in the world win a national championship with 3 and 4 star players and get a pro team to the super bowl?
Any helmet to helmet contact should be targeting call. Because no matter if it’s the top or side of helmet it’s the same impact. Logic would tell you whether you hit a nail with any top bottom or side of a hammer you can still get that nail in. Let’s be real they want to give Texas the best odds of winning. If they give asu that call and they kick field goal game over. If Texas needed that call they would have call it. This is why we need ai referee
Lets not overlook that every single ball Smith has caught in the forst two rounds, has come on the heels of a perfect throw from Howard. Cant defend a perfect throw....to the beat receiver in the nation by far
Espn don’t want anyone discussing that they were in refs ear during review. They made the call just like they brokered the deal to get texas and ou to the sec 4 years ago. And then use clickbait this. I would love to know if saben has the integrity i have always thought he had to call it an obvious targeting call with his paycheck at stake.

@ you are probably the kind of dude that would try to tell people a man who cuts his pecker off is actually a woman.
Facemask to facemask is smash-mouth football, it's not targeting. What ASU did to Isaiah Bond on the ASU interception was targeting.
So is it the crown of the helmet or helmet in general? I've seen ESPN argue both sides.
The rule specifically says that you cannot "attack" the head and neck area. Clearly this was not a deliberate attack but just incidental contact on a clean hit
Boy, don’t get too spicy about that no call targeting. The referee cartel might age restricted this video.
Ya that hit Isaiah Bond took in the third was a definite game changer for Arizona State right. Good point
Hard to see how Texas can stop that offense. Holy molley

All teams that had a bi week lost!. Ranked 1, 2,3 and 4. Having a bi week is a curse.
How come the best coach in the world could not win with 3 star men at MSU, or in the pro's? But the worst coach in the world win a national championship with 3 and 4 star players and get a pro team to the super bowl?
Any helmet to helmet contact should be targeting call. Because no matter if it’s the top or side of helmet it’s the same impact. Logic would tell you whether you hit a nail with any top bottom or side of a hammer you can still get that nail in. Let’s be real they want to give Texas the best odds of winning. If they give asu that call and they kick field goal game over. If Texas needed that call they would have call it. This is why we need ai referee
Lets not overlook that every single ball Smith has caught in the forst two rounds, has come on the heels of a perfect throw from Howard. Cant defend a perfect throw....to the beat receiver in the nation by far
Trying every way they can to get Saban to say that Gunner will be the weakness. Wow.
Espn don’t want anyone discussing that they were in refs ear during review. They made the call just like they brokered the deal to get texas and ou to the sec 4 years ago. And then use clickbait this. I would love to know if saben has the integrity i have always thought he had to call it an obvious targeting call with his paycheck at stake.
The bad call ! Not mentioned! Click bait
he did not target the guy....it was a good clean hit...
the click bait got me- I thought espn was above that- guess not
Did the video of the ASU girls walk right in front of Auburn right before he is kicking on the sideline? Did this have any effect on Auburn?
14:14 I think some passed gas
JoePa is the Gr8'est NCAA football coach of all time 409 wins WE ARE.........Penn State! 🎉
