I think there should be a level 1 targeting and level 2 targeting. Level 1- for when the hit is significant but cannot rule out that it was accidental, 15 yards. Level 2- blatantly obvious the defender targeted the head, possible ejection
Jake I agree. Not all of these should be ejectable offenses. In high school rules it's only an ejection if it's flagrant. It seems college is calling targeting on every head to head contact and that's not what the nature of the rule was intended for. I do believe the head shot does need to be removed from the game but I think they are going overboard when a player is trying to intercept a pass, the receiver is falling down as he tries to catch the ball they collide and they call him for targeting. Show me the intent on that!
here in Oklahoma we have a new rule as well making blindside blocks illegal unless you initiate it with you hands or without force. meaning just screening the guy by just stepping into his path and letting him run into you. No ejection though unless its deemed flagrant.
Jake Nichols I think the refs should all get in a huddle and bend over and take a each other’s flags and twist them sum bitches sideways and shove them up there candy asses
Back in the '90s, I was introduced to a professional football player by a mutual friend, a former sportswriter, for the purpose of writing the player's motivational book. (It never got finished, for irrelevant reasons.) Thirty years later, the guy who introduced us--the former sportswriter--called the player just to say high and catch up on a couple of things. The player remembered me, but he did not remember the guy who introduced us. He apologized to the sportswriter and asked him not to be offended. The football player was in the NFL's concussion study. There were by then, apparently, a number of people missing from his life because of concussions. Since that incident, I have looked into the matter some. It's devastating to talk to a retired or former player whom I used to watch on TV performing magic in the game, burst into tears or be confused because he couldn't remember something he was trying to comment on or tell about. The most extreme case was a man who drooled and stared at me for the few minutes of conversation we had; I left because it was demoralizing to remember who he once was. I think you guys, especially if you've never played the game, need to re-evaluate the beasts you are becoming simply because you want to see people maimed or severely mentally injured, merely for your entertainment.
They should just get rid of the rule of targeting. If it's one of those obvious Ravens vs. Steelers types of helmet hits then just deem it as a personal foul with a possible ejection like it used to be. Targeting has just created a soft culture that lets refs throw around even more flags. I'm sorry but grazing past a guys facemask unintentionally isn't any worse for the brain than a common tackle. Your brain is still going to take some damage in any physical sport you play, most of its immeasurable damage. What obviously should be eliminated is what I said previously. Those old time Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu come across the middle hits, where the player's decal falls off. Those hits usually cause the most severe concussions and result in CTE.
As a player, I hate these rules, football was designed to be physical and big hits are what make the game fun, if you have an issue with getting hit and youre more worried about getting concussions and such than playing, just don’t play football, it’s obviously not for you
I agree but I think they need to crack down on late hits, specifically aiming for the head (it has to be very obvious) and random crack backs that are away from the play only. If you have the ball or are close to making a tackle though it’s open season
Football was a beautiful game. There was a very rare kind of beauty in the violence of the game that modern people rarely get to see. Men doing what they have been doing since the beginning of time: Going to war with their brothers and finding out what they're made of. It's only after you've given 100% of your effort,energy,emotion and heart and have absolutely nothing left to give that everything in the world is stripped away and you are truly alone and you can finally discover who you really are. That's what football was all about. Most men will live there whole lives without ever really finding out who they are.
The violence is what draws most of us in, its our primitive instinct to be pumped up by violent hits. A battle to show who is stronger and more dominant than the other
Modell Highlights during the HS season last year our team his a guy pretty hard but nothing too special. The ref waited to see if the receiver hit would get up right away and when he didn't THEN he decided the hit was then "illegal"
Football is a violent sport there is supposed to be contact, there will also ALWAYS be some kind of helmet to helmet contact on EVERY hit. The way they are enforcing these rules is honestly embarrassing and not fun to watch. Recievers can do what ever they want cause they know they cant be touched, DBs/LBs are put in terrible situations on every snap. And now you are seeing players starting to sell these clean hits to draw flags. Football is just in a bad state and idk if it can ever be saved.
MattyJ - football is about more than just fans seeing hard hits. After games these guys still have a life and if they get hit wrong and get paralyzed then what?? You go out there a run a route across the middle and let a big ass linebacker hit yo weak ass one good time
Chivas Warren dont play football if you dont wanna take that risk, easy. Football is a man sport theres no room for being a bitch. And i have taken those hits i played WR. They arent fun but its football that stuff happens. I never complain about it
BYU should have sued the NCAA or somebody over that rigged mess. I remember watching that game live and coming to the conclusion the game of football would never be the same after watching that. But to be honest, there really should have been an investigation into that travesty. Was there heavy betting at the casinos that BYU was going to win, so the casinos got ahold of the refs and told them they'd split the loot if BYU lost?
houstonjazmine They want safety? Then they need to take off their pads and never play again. Tired of all these soft ass players ruining the game for players like myself that love the feel of destroying someone.
The law is affecting NCAA, and NCAA is affecting college football with these rules. It’s not NCAA’s fault. NCAA could be sued left and right until bankruptcy-making college football impossible-so long as the law exists. I think the individual football program should be the one responsible for paying a lawsuit, not the NCAA. NCAA can only enforce rules. It is up to the coaching staff on educating/disciplining their players on how to play. With individual programs being held responsible on how violently the game is played, NCAA can allow for big hits to happen while the football programs get punished for medical-related consequences.
I believe there should be another flag that the coaches carry and thrown against the officials on the field. These dictators can ruin a game. Some of these refs should be sent to the showers for their BS
I completely agree. They are ruining the game of football and have turned it into the antithesis of what college football should be. Great video by the way.
Micah S no they dont, they making it better. Hard hits doesn't mean greatness. Football is a hard and Tactical sport but not an Animal Brutal shit Sport. Hard hits are sometimes really funny and motivated but when football players are always doing big hits the Game would be totaly useless to zhe meaning Football. And Yes my English is bad i know 👍
I had a similar problem this past season after a good clean hit on a receiver, I got ejected because "the hit was too hard for the high school level" and had a one day suspension from school because our league requires it.
Rainbro Anderson i was playing cb and the other Team made a toss and the big Ass Running back trucked me the next Time they made the Same Play i fucked ihm um and got ejected there is no other way to tackle ihm
I get it! I know that both the college and NFL are trying to protect the players! But-c'mon man! You will NEVER get rid of concussions unless you change from tackle to tag football! I know, I know! One of my favorite players committed suicide after his career ended in the NFL(Junior Seau). But in all fairness,these rues are at best not consistent with what they are intended to be. And the quality of the game is what is suffering along with the players that are ejected over what is simply a good hit.
College football is starting to become softer in every way imaginable. Not only do you have the rule changes you also have entire teams, not just offenses anymore, that are completely built around finesse and tempo. Coaches like Chip Kelly, Kevin Sumlin and Hugh Freeze are starting to make college football something that any real fan doesn't want to see, a game of tempo and passing the ball as much as you possibly can. Defense, in general at least, sucks now. It used to just be the Big 12 and Pac 12 but now its everywhere. We need football to go back to a more physical nature both offensively and defensively. This can only happen by rule changes and schematic changes on the part of the coaches.
Elijah Hollowell yes but you gotta rember saft i play i get hot hella hard it migh not look hard but it is and those head shot cab be lead to dwath later in life by disease back then football players where all dieing causd hsrd hits
As someone who played the game, I feel like finesse and tempo are simply the future. Football has had to change to increase safety. The "real" fans' desire for extreme physicality is simply a relic of another time. If the game didn't get safer, it would eventually be banned. Do MMA if you simply want pure violence.
Is anyone else very fucking confused as to why targeting is a penalty? It's football. That's why we love it. Try and make it safer to the players, makes it dull. It's a bloodsport. I played it for 12 years...and I never played collegiate. I got my shit rocked on a daily basis. It's the sport, let's all stop being politically correct about it. Get into it, understand that it hurts to get hit
Its so strange to watch this now. So many major targeting penalties by todays standards. While I enjoy the hard hits of old school football it is a little hard to watch knowing a player just got concussed at best. Glad we have the rules we have today, though they need some work, to protect the players.
Love the video so much!!! The big hit now in either NFL or college football are decreasing rapidly which is start too be ugly to see. This ain't football anymore. One of the huge different between football to any other sport such as basketball or soccer is that football is going to hit and crash over somebody. As a old school football fans, it is just unacceptable to see when a defender does everything right and try the best to help the team and then get kick out of the game because of the god damn targeting call. Everyone on the football field run at full speed and lunge themselves in full speed. How the hell they are going to control fully which part of the body they are going to hit on the offensive players! Please change back the RULE!
I think that the rule is absolutely necessary considering what concussions do to players. However, I think they should be charged with the foul and if they repeat the act then they should be ejected. I don’t agree with ejecting a player for their ‘first offense.’ I do believe this rule is imperative though with all the studies done on concussions and the long and short term effects they have on the players. It is paramount to their safety on and off the field.
@@zyberzyber yes but they know the cost when they play this game. Hell thats why most are at these colleges is to play football. I do agree player safety is a must. But you cant throw a flag for every head to head contact man. Thats just ridiculous.
YoungSleepy it’s also ridiculous that you think that these flags should not be called, when you play football it’s supposed to be played as safe as possibly can be and allowing players to lead with their head or shoulder into another’s is not safe, and I’ve never been hit hard but still until you show me proof you’ve taken these hits don’t call no football player soft.
Targeting has ruined the game and turned it into such a *ussy sport. If you're scared to get hit then don't play? Such bullshit now, they expect you to not make a play on the ball and let them catch it.
It has completely ruined the game. How you gonna be throwing out star players for accidental collisions? Its as ridiculous as society in general has become.
You need to realize that in all of those plays from the old CFB the players were stuck on the ground concussed. There's a reason these rules are in play. I agree that they should be reevaluated but there needs to be rules protecting players.
Kyle I understand what you're saying but football is about getting hit and concussions and injuries are the odds of football... It's the risk you are willing to take everytime you step on the football field
I agree with you, football has become about speed and passing, and who wants to get so many concussions to the point where the career you chose is cut short by some sort of brain injury, some of these guys do actually target a player to take out. The game is about scoring and keeping your opponent from scoring, not taking out or injuring your opponent.
Im glad you have the "old" cfb first to show what shouldnt be allowed in football bc some (not all) are just dirty hits that are unnecessary (really, the is NO need for some of those high hits) and then the "new" that is on the other end of the extreme of just dumb calls and penalties
How can it be targeting when a player clearly leads with a shoulder and tries to avoid contacts with the head. What a BS rule. Let’s just change football to flag. At this rate football will be out of business in 5-10 years.
Master of Everything So what do you see when you watch football? Just because people are not trying to give each other traumatic brain injuries doesn’t mean it’s not contact.
It still is contact. Just meant to be below the head. Heaven forbid they try to prevent major brain damage from happening while keeping the game intact.
If we taught kids how to tackle like the old days we wouldn’t need a targeting rule. But the pass interference call gets called on kids too for bullshit reasons. It’s the referees ruining the game not the rules.
Wait so is this video showing those old highlights as like the "good days" or when it was better? Because one of those videos the guy is now paralyzed for the rest of his life sooo
Sometimes that's the price to pay for making the decision to play football. Everyone of us who has ever suited up, I would imagine this includes you, knows the possible consequences.. I call bullshit on anyone who says different. Put the tech in the pads and stop watering down the fucking game.
This was a lit ass video 🔥 but y u so t show the tj ward hit on the Oklahoma State QB in the Oregon vs Oklahoma State game and the Jeremiah messoli truck on the Oklahoma State DB
Health is the top priority in this, yes sometimes there are questionable calls but in the long run it will teach players in up coming years it will create a safer game, all this bs about "being less genuine" is losing sight of the fact that this is a game that over 99.8% of players are not being payed for
Bro people take the risk by putting on the pads, wtf is safe about football. Is there anything safe about ufc fighting? No. But guess what? They train everyday and know the risks. People are so soft it’s a joke.
@@twistedbeau3333 are UFC fighters allowed to scratch at each other’s eyes? If not why? Yes there is a level of danger associated with each sport but there are also rules in place to draw a line mitigating unnecessary danger.
@@antoniovilla6768 sorry dude but as a former player that played defense, and had multiple wrs come across the middle, or peel back blocks on people trying to make the tackle, and I’m told to just “get in their way” nowadays, shits ridiculous. Everything is pussified in today’s world and yeah I made that word up.
I think the NBA has it right or at least the closet to being right. Their version of this is the flagrant foul, a Flagrant 1 is foul that occurs with excessive force and a player may or may not be focusing on the ball(but most often is going for the ball). The victims team earns 2 free throws and possession of the ball. And a flagrant 1 is like a technical foul, you can have 1, and maybe get a fine later, and the second infraction is automatic ejection, possible suspension(severity of infractions), and a fine. A flagrant 2 is catorgized as a non-basketball play, where a player forcefully attempts to hurt another player. And like I said before automatic ejection upon review. I feel college football can adopt this, because some hits are aggressive and seem unnecessary but I have played football for years, and the speed of the game is scary. Looking back, you don't think when you play, you really don't. It's all instinct and muscle memory, not to mention the atmosphere of the game and pure adrenaline pumping through your veins. It's so fast that I can understand when a player puts his head down or hits a player so hard without thinking about his safety. The NCAA needs to tweak this rule to make it fair for the players and their teams and institute an offensive foul to counter it. I see so many illegal chop blocks, block in the backs, and something they should probably reconsider is the removal or penalty of a severe crack back block. Like when a player is running with or chasing the ball carrier and an offensive player blocks him/smashes into him while he is focused on the ball carrier. Those hits are so aggressive and sudden, it happened to me once in practice(granite I was in 8th grade) and it completely took my breath away and I swear I was flying for at least 30 seconds(in reality it was like less than a second). They suprise you and are probably one of the most dangerous hits in football. Just a suggestion to even out the ruling of defensive hits to keep the integrity of the game. However I do like to seeing the NCAA doing something to keep its players safe, they're plenty of other ways for players to hit each other legally and still be jaw dropping. Either way it goes, I love football and I know eventually they will re-evaluate that rule or strictness of said rule.
While I do like the big hits, I hate seeing 1:43 on here. Both of those players careers were ended by that hit. The Penn State FB suffered a grade 3 concussion, which is the worst there is, while the Michigan DB had an abnormal separation between his C1 and C2 vertebrae, which was potentially life threatening
Ryan Cagle It was still helmet to helmet where the defender launched with the crown of the helmet. In the NCAA targeting rules, hitting a player with the crown of the helmet is considered targeting. Its not just about if a player is "defenseless" according to the NCAA.
i have to agree with the person who made this this rule is outrageous they need to fix it so there is an understanding on what should be done the refs can call it all day on the team they dont want to win and make it easier for the other team if they wanted to so yes i agree with the rule no targeting but not at this extent so they need to fix it so the game is fun again for everybody to play and watch. me i would be afraid to hit anybody if they could call it this wat u make the game less interesting to me but i thank u for the vid it was a really good one keep making more about football
I had to pause at Purdue vs Minnesota, lifelong bama fan, I agree with you. Alabama players in past games should of been thrown out, wish you had used the Ruben foster kickoff hits. Clearly should have been thrown out of the game. The minn one hurts to watch because of when they decided to throw the flag. If a ref really thought it was they should have immediately thrown it then they can discuss if they want to pick up the flag or make that call. It almost as if they didn’t have a choice. Doesn’t the replay official have the ability to call for a review on that even if it isn’t called?
I have to say that during the 2017-2018 season, they did a lot better about not calling ridiculous penalties. I believe I saw a few that were iffy, but nowhere near as many ridiculous ones as the past few years. Hopefully they will change the ejection rule, or only keep it as a result of a true "flagrant" foul.
Theres also the targetting call on Michigan against Michigan State, where the MSU player shoved the Michigan player ontop of the MSU quarterback, with no head to head contact at all, yet the Targetting call Stands. If players can shove the other team into their defenseless players, why do more teams not block the other teams into their own punters/kickers to draw the flag? Oh, because then it wouldnt be a penalty? NCAA needs to rewrite the rules.
Some rules are stupid. But I do believe the targeting penalty is good. Player safety is a top priority. Sometimes some plays do get called for dumb ass reasons, but targeting should be a penalty in my opinion
the big problem in my book is they don't call this rule fairly for both sides of the ball. if the runner lowers his head and leads with it into the defenders head, thats targeting as well. It shouldn't be limited to the offense. The offense can be guilty of it too if they lead with it, they just aren't calling it.
"Never had a concussion" that you know of. You can have serious brain damage without getting diagnosed with a concussion. Especially when youre surround by coaches and medical staff who dont actually care about whether youre ok or not and just want to shove you back onto the field.
I only played high school football and that was nearly fifty years ago. We were taught to lead with our heads, but at that time the players were far smaller (our biggest player weighed in at 235lbs) and we weren't nearly as fast as modern players. Given that difference and the evidence of head trauma I understand the rule, however there isn't a football player out there who doesn't understand injuries are part of the game and so is laying a whack on a guy who is trying to beat you.
To be fair, the rule is not ruining the game. It's the implementation and judgement by the refs that is ruining the game. The rule when enforced correctly actually makes a ton of sense and SHOULD be in the game. The refs are just god awful at implementing it.
Targeting, in the NCAA, is not ruining the game. It's keeping players safe. You want the game to be "more entertaining?" Watch the NFL. It's branded as entertainment. NCAA football is NOT entertainment by definition. These are STUDENT athletes playing out there, emphasis on STUDENT. Their safety comes first. If you want player safety to be second, watch the NFL where the players are dedicated athletes. That being said, yes they do need to clarify the rule quite a bit. Many of the clips shown here were NOT targeting. And as to why the Bama-A&M clip wasn't... well, It's Bama. What else could you possibly expect from the media darlings?
I would rather have the game for longer because there are less injuries rather than what football used to be and have it around for max 5 more years. Concussions were discovered recently which is why they made the rules. They want to keep the game around.
The way I see it is that they are attempting to protect the offensive players by not letting defenders make a big hit. I also think that they need to be more accurate and specific with the rule, you can’t just say not head to head contact because linemen would be called all the time. I would put the rule as, If the defender intentionally aims to hit with the helmet or aim for the opponents helmet with a significant amount of force they should call it and they could rate the severity of the play from there. That’s just my two cents
What I don't understand is lowering the head. Take the Purdue/Minnesota clip, if he doesn't lower his head, he risks a neck injury. Yes he lowered his head, but he didn't lead with it. If it keeps going, players are just going to have to keep their head up and run into a ball carrier like they're running into a wall. Until they start throwing flags on running backs leading with their head (not as common in today's game, but it still happens), I will keep questioning most of the targeting fouls.
I agree with Jake Nichols that there should be 2 different levels of targetting, 1 for accidental targetting and 1 for intentional targetting. But the rule overall is definitely necessary. ESPECIALLY in college
Again, people take the risk of being injured when putting on the pads and doing what they love. Football is violent, and equipment nowadays is 10x better than it was a decade ago. No shot this rule is needed, shit ruins the game
I think the targeting rule is a good rule, it's not about making the sport "soft" or anything like that. What needs to happen is these refs need to be better trained on what targeting exactly is. They made a step in the right direction by reviewing every potential targeting play, but they still need to better identify it. CTE and other physical problems that arise from constant high impact is a real issue.
I find it funny how the SEC is the only conference referees who let the teams play and let them not the hell out of each other I see it like this if a student wants to play high school football college and or NFL football they should sign a contract that states what could happen with your health in this sport with concussion head trauma anything for that matter so when they sign it if anything happens to them they can’t sue the school ncaa or the nfl for it bc it was there decision to sign the contract
Agreed targeting is a terrible Penalty with inconsistent traits The refs have a say whether it is or not But because of confusion and people who shouldn’t be refereeing several bad calls are made that cause anger to college football fans The rule needs to be changed or needs to be specified better to where the refs can make a good call instead of guessing
this stupid targeting rule is making me not want to play in College, it's so dumb, like I get that they're trying to make it safer but when players are called out for accidentally hitting the helmet when making an innocent tackle then wtf are you supposed to do? It's not like they can avoid it 100% of the time.
I completely understand why the rule is there and I do for the most part believe it needs to be there. but there have been alot of hits that I feel were not targeting and players are being punished for attempting to follow the rules. the rule is actually gotten so bad at points that I feel that players should just ignore the targeting rule and just hit how they want because again sometimes even when they are attempting to follow the rule they still getting ejected
I do agree that the rule should be a lot clearer. Some refs will call it differently than others which, I think, makes it harder to play the game. On the other side of things, this is causing coaches to teach better form tackling.
I do think it's important to note that these are kids 18-22 years old who aren't getting paid anything. I agree that they should loosen some of these rules, but I disagree with the thought that CFB is getting soft.
if im a coach and one of my players gets ejected for a shitty call like this im calling the refs out. "player x made a great clean tackle, thats what we coach them to do but the refs just fucked him."
I don't think you guys understand, they changed the rules for SAFTEY reasons. The NCAA want to stop helmet to helmet collisions, I've been hit helmet to helmet and I couldn't see straight for 2 DAYS! I love hitting aggressively I have no problem with it at all, but to a certaint extent you can't just let people get hit helmet to helmet
The targeting rule is the dumbest rule in football. How are defenders supposed to tackle if the can't hit. Go high... Definitely ejected go low and tear someone's acl then you are a bad guy? Smh
I play high school football and while these rules don't apply to me bc refs in high school miss everything, I like the targeting rule. Football has given me concussions before and I've had to sit almost entire seasons out because of one stupid play by one stupid player. While sometimes I understand its unavoidable I really think the rule is important for player safety and player safety is more important than the viewers enjoyment of the sport.
ShaKYGT Fair opinion and I play high school football as well. I just think the rule needs to be more clear and prevent normal football plays from being ejections
ShaKYGT man up dawg its the way the game is played if you don't like it quit. I play because I live for those moments those big plays the glory. Getting hurt is the last thing I worry about. man up fam

I do believe the head shot does need to be removed from the game but I think they are going overboard when a player is trying to intercept a pass, the receiver is falling down as he tries to catch the ball they collide and they call him for targeting. Show me the intent on that!
Jake Nichols there is nothing wrong with a hard hit
here in Oklahoma we have a new rule as well making blindside blocks illegal unless you initiate it with you hands or without force. meaning just screening the guy by just stepping into his path and letting him run into you. No ejection though unless its deemed flagrant.
Jake Nichols I think the refs should all get in a huddle and bend over and take a each other’s flags and twist them sum bitches sideways and shove them up there candy asses
Jake Nichols fucking agreed
"How is this not targeting?"
it's Alabama. that's why.
Jordan Wagner exactly 👌
It was not called targeting because he was not a defenseless player. He was a ball-carrier and by the rules you cannot target a ball carrier.
robert jones yet others are. . . . that was more targeting than some of the other hits.
even though refs always give other teams at least 1 advantage
robert jones but the guy defender still launched himself with the crown of his helmet which is still targeting.

Football was a beautiful game. There was a very rare kind of beauty in the violence of the game that modern people rarely get to see. Men doing what they have been doing since the beginning of time: Going to war with their brothers and finding out what they're made of. It's only after you've given 100% of your effort,energy,emotion and heart and have absolutely nothing left to give that everything in the world is stripped away and you are truly alone and you can finally discover who you really are. That's what football was all about.
Most men will live there whole lives without ever really finding out who they are.

MattyJ - football is about more than just fans seeing hard hits. After games these guys still have a life and if they get hit wrong and get paralyzed then what?? You go out there a run a route across the middle and let a big ass linebacker hit yo weak ass one good time
Chivas Warren dont play football if you dont wanna take that risk, easy. Football is a man sport theres no room for being a bitch. And i have taken those hits i played WR. They arent fun but its football that stuff happens. I never complain about it
They completely tried BYU not once but twice. Football is dumb soft now.
Jeremiah Tarver I agree and the only reason byu lost that game was because of those retarded calls
I mean think of the players safety
BYU should have sued the NCAA or somebody over that rigged mess. I remember watching that game live and coming to the conclusion the game of football would never be the same after watching that. But to be honest, there really should have been an investigation into that travesty. Was there heavy betting at the casinos that BYU was going to win, so the casinos got ahold of the refs and told them they'd split the loot if BYU lost?
houstonjazmine They want safety? Then they need to take off their pads and never play again. Tired of all these soft ass players ruining the game for players like myself that love the feel of destroying someone.
It is sad seeing a player being taken out of a game for no reason really
Kevin Grimes Couldn't agree more. Especially some players like Joey Bosa, who was ejected in his last game
Kevin Grimes so you should be allowed to give people concussion without being ejected? BTW this is college football we are talking about.
Was ejected for playing football
@@zyberzyber you know what you're signing up for when you decide to play
SionCore This is FOOTBALL!!! It was made to be aggressive man
The law is affecting NCAA, and NCAA is affecting college football with these rules. It’s not NCAA’s fault. NCAA could be sued left and right until bankruptcy-making college football impossible-so long as the law exists.
I think the individual football program should be the one responsible for paying a lawsuit, not the NCAA. NCAA can only enforce rules. It is up to the coaching staff on educating/disciplining their players on how to play.
With individual programs being held responsible on how violently the game is played, NCAA can allow for big hits to happen while the football programs get punished for medical-related consequences.
I believe there should be another flag that the coaches carry and thrown against the officials on the field. These dictators can ruin a game. Some of these refs should be sent to the showers for their BS
Tale Gunner yeah you're totaly right about that 👍👍
Tale Gunner then what would it be called?
Rectal Cranial Inversion. Thats where the ref has his head up his A$$
So offer a chance for EVERY call to be made a bigger deal than necessary? Sure, let's go with that.
I completely agree. They are ruining the game of football and have turned it into the antithesis of what college football should be. Great video by the way.
Micah S Thanks man! I appreciate that alot, and yeah I agree with what you said 100%
Modell Highlights
Your answer to 9:10 would be because it's Alabama.
But i don't think hits meant to injure and could force a guy to a vegetable later in life have any place in the game
Clemson is better than Alabama Haha.
Micah S no they dont, they making it better. Hard hits doesn't mean greatness. Football is a hard and Tactical sport but not an Animal Brutal shit Sport. Hard hits are sometimes really funny and motivated but when football players are always doing big hits the Game would be totaly useless to zhe meaning Football. And Yes my English is bad i know 👍
Great video. It’s unbelievable this wonderful American game can’t be played the same as it once was!!!!
You mean by killing people?
If you haven't watched the South Park sarcastaball episode I highly recommend you do. It ties in with this video perfectly.
I got flagged because the refs Thought the hit was to hard in which case I guess Imma have to tackle them and gently lay them on the ground
I had a similar problem this past season after a good clean hit on a receiver, I got ejected because "the hit was too hard for the high school level" and had a one day suspension from school because our league requires it.
Rainbro Anderson i was playing cb and the other Team made a toss and the big Ass Running back trucked me the next Time they made the Same Play i fucked ihm um and got ejected there is no other way to tackle ihm
A truck can roll if it has no wheels-- you must go low and take his legs out. between the knee and waist.
legal play, no targeting
Same dude
+T. Y.
I hope you do exactly that.....and then post a link to your mugshot after they charge you with a criminal offense.
I'm a wide out and I don't even like these rules and I'm the one to get hit
I play wide out too and I agree
My high school uses this song when the team enters the field for home games.
Ah, a fellow man of culture.
I get it! I know that both the college and NFL are trying to protect the players! But-c'mon man! You will NEVER get rid of concussions unless you change from tackle to tag football! I know, I know! One of my favorite players committed suicide after his career ended in the NFL(Junior Seau). But in all fairness,these rues are at best not consistent with what they are intended to be. And the quality of the game is what is suffering along with the players that are ejected over what is simply a good hit.
RIP Junior Seau
Maybe the old cfl was better but these rules are there to keep players safe. Some of the hits in this video were career ending.
Those were all beautiful hits in my opinion.
I hate the targeting rules
College football is starting to become softer in every way imaginable. Not only do you have the rule changes you also have entire teams, not just offenses anymore, that are completely built around finesse and tempo. Coaches like Chip Kelly, Kevin Sumlin and Hugh Freeze are starting to make college football something that any real fan doesn't want to see, a game of tempo and passing the ball as much as you possibly can. Defense, in general at least, sucks now. It used to just be the Big 12 and Pac 12 but now its everywhere. We need football to go back to a more physical nature both offensively and defensively. This can only happen by rule changes and schematic changes on the part of the coaches.
Elijah Hollowell Couldnt agree more 👌🏻
Elijah Hollowell yes but you gotta rember saft i play i get hot hella hard it migh not look hard but it is and those head shot cab be lead to dwath later in life by disease back then football players where all dieing causd hsrd hits
As someone who played the game, I feel like finesse and tempo are simply the future. Football has had to change to increase safety. The "real" fans' desire for extreme physicality is simply a relic of another time. If the game didn't get safer, it would eventually be banned. Do MMA if you simply want pure violence.
EJH UM until you show me you’ve taken these hits don’t ever call another football player soft
Is anyone else very fucking confused as to why targeting is a penalty? It's football. That's why we love it. Try and make it safer to the players, makes it dull. It's a bloodsport. I played it for 12 years...and I never played collegiate. I got my shit rocked on a daily basis. It's the sport, let's all stop being politically correct about it. Get into it, understand that it hurts to get hit
Pat McAfee biggest hit...look it up. Is that targeting??
It's not targeting that's bad it's the officials constantly getting it wrong!
Hey when did our shoulders get helmets. I didn't know shoulders were illegal to use aswell
If you didn't know that, then you prove your ignorance of the rules. Why don't you educate yourself?
Its so strange to watch this now. So many major targeting penalties by todays standards. While I enjoy the hard hits of old school football it is a little hard to watch knowing a player just got concussed at best. Glad we have the rules we have today, though they need some work, to protect the players.
Love the video so much!!! The big hit now in either NFL or college football are decreasing rapidly which is start too be ugly to see. This ain't football anymore. One of the huge different between football to any other sport such as basketball or soccer is that football is going to hit and crash over somebody.
As a old school football fans, it is just unacceptable to see when a defender does everything right and try the best to help the team and then get kick out of the game because of the god damn targeting call. Everyone on the football field run at full speed and lunge themselves in full speed. How the hell they are going to control fully which part of the body they are going to hit on the offensive players!
Please change back the RULE!
我爱吃水果 Thanks man I appreciate the support and agree 100%!
so quick
I think that the rule is absolutely necessary considering what concussions do to players. However, I think they should be charged with the foul and if they repeat the act then they should be ejected. I don’t agree with ejecting a player for their ‘first offense.’ I do believe this rule is imperative though with all the studies done on concussions and the long and short term effects they have on the players. It is paramount to their safety on and off the field.
College Football And NFL Getting soft
Dejon Decruz I see why people don’t like the new NFL but college football is different. They are students
@@zyberzyber yes but they know the cost when they play this game. Hell thats why most are at these colleges is to play football. I do agree player safety is a must. But you cant throw a flag for every head to head contact man. Thats just ridiculous.
YoungSleepy I don't think I lot of players go into college with the intentions of making the NFL. When you're left brain dead at 50 that's not good
YoungSleepy it’s also ridiculous that you think that these flags should not be called, when you play football it’s supposed to be played as safe as possibly can be and allowing players to lead with their head or shoulder into another’s is not safe, and I’ve never been hit hard but still until you show me proof you’ve taken these hits don’t call no football player soft.
their heads are getting soft if they allow hits like this. also very few college kids make the nfl
Targeting has ruined the game and turned it into such a *ussy sport. If you're scared to get hit then don't play? Such bullshit now, they expect you to not make a play on the ball and let them catch it.
It has completely ruined the game. How you gonna be throwing out star players for accidental collisions? Its as ridiculous as society in general has become.
You need to realize that in all of those plays from the old CFB the players were stuck on the ground concussed. There's a reason these rules are in play. I agree that they should be reevaluated but there needs to be rules protecting players.
Kyle
I understand what you're saying but football is about getting hit and concussions and injuries are the odds of football... It's the risk you are willing to take everytime you step on the football field
I agree with you, football has become about speed and passing, and who wants to get so many concussions to the point where the career you chose is cut short by some sort of brain injury, some of these guys do actually target a player to take out. The game is about scoring and keeping your opponent from scoring, not taking out or injuring your opponent.
Im glad you have the "old" cfb first to show what shouldnt be allowed in football bc some (not all) are just dirty hits that are unnecessary (really, the is NO need for some of those high hits) and then the "new" that is on the other end of the extreme of just dumb calls and penalties
Nice to see Bill Stewart in that intro 🙏
Rest in Peace
This is awful. No wonder so many of the guys' brains are scrambling
1:30 is the best football hit ever
How can it be targeting when a player clearly leads with a shoulder and tries to avoid contacts with the head. What a BS rule. Let’s just change football to flag. At this rate football will be out of business in 5-10 years.
I played in the 'old' era. I set a team record for knocking an opposing player out of the game for 5 weeks in a row.
MAKE FOOTBALL A CONTACT SPORT AGAIN PLEASE!!!
Master of Everything
So what do you see when you watch football? Just because people are not trying to give each other traumatic brain injuries doesn’t mean it’s not contact.
Master of Everything lol theyre just trying to prevent brain injury and quite frankly, death
It still is contact. Just meant to be below the head. Heaven forbid they try to prevent major brain damage from happening while keeping the game intact.
If we taught kids how to tackle like the old days we wouldn’t need a targeting rule. But the pass interference call gets called on kids too for bullshit reasons. It’s the referees ruining the game not the rules.
Wait so is this video showing those old highlights as like the "good days" or when it was better? Because one of those videos the guy is now paralyzed for the rest of his life sooo
Sometimes that's the price to pay for making the decision to play football. Everyone of us who has ever suited up, I would imagine this includes you, knows the possible consequences.. I call bullshit on anyone who says different. Put the tech in the pads and stop watering down the fucking game.
9:09, It seems Alabama gets away with everything.
This was a lit ass video 🔥 but y u so t show the tj ward hit on the Oklahoma State QB in the Oregon vs Oklahoma State game and the Jeremiah messoli truck on the Oklahoma State DB
Health is the top priority in this, yes sometimes there are questionable calls but in the long run it will teach players in up coming years it will create a safer game, all this bs about "being less genuine" is losing sight of the fact that this is a game that over 99.8% of players are not being payed for
Bro people take the risk by putting on the pads, wtf is safe about football. Is there anything safe about ufc fighting? No. But guess what? They train everyday and know the risks. People are so soft it’s a joke.
@@twistedbeau3333 are UFC fighters allowed to scratch at each other’s eyes? If not why? Yes there is a level of danger associated with each sport but there are also rules in place to draw a line mitigating unnecessary danger.
@@antoniovilla6768 that literally makes zero sense. Hitting is a part of football, scratching someone’s eye isn’t even apart of ufc lmfao.
@@antoniovilla6768 sorry dude but as a former player that played defense, and had multiple wrs come across the middle, or peel back blocks on people trying to make the tackle, and I’m told to just “get in their way” nowadays, shits ridiculous. Everything is pussified in today’s world and yeah I made that word up.
@@antoniovilla6768 also the whole “not being paid for” is outdated as well. Cuz now they’re being paid lol.
I admit that the execution of this rule has been extreme but the reason they introduced needed to be adressed.
I think the NBA has it right or at least the closet to being right. Their version of this is the flagrant foul, a Flagrant 1 is foul that occurs with excessive force and a player may or may not be focusing on the ball(but most often is going for the ball). The victims team earns 2 free throws and possession of the ball. And a flagrant 1 is like a technical foul, you can have 1, and maybe get a fine later, and the second infraction is automatic ejection, possible suspension(severity of infractions), and a fine. A flagrant 2 is catorgized as a non-basketball play, where a player forcefully attempts to hurt another player. And like I said before automatic ejection upon review. I feel college football can adopt this, because some hits are aggressive and seem unnecessary but I have played football for years, and the speed of the game is scary. Looking back, you don't think when you play, you really don't. It's all instinct and muscle memory, not to mention the atmosphere of the game and pure adrenaline pumping through your veins. It's so fast that I can understand when a player puts his head down or hits a player so hard without thinking about his safety. The NCAA needs to tweak this rule to make it fair for the players and their teams and institute an offensive foul to counter it. I see so many illegal chop blocks, block in the backs, and something they should probably reconsider is the removal or penalty of a severe crack back block. Like when a player is running with or chasing the ball carrier and an offensive player blocks him/smashes into him while he is focused on the ball carrier. Those hits are so aggressive and sudden, it happened to me once in practice(granite I was in 8th grade) and it completely took my breath away and I swear I was flying for at least 30 seconds(in reality it was like less than a second). They suprise you and are probably one of the most dangerous hits in football. Just a suggestion to even out the ruling of defensive hits to keep the integrity of the game. However I do like to seeing the NCAA doing something to keep its players safe, they're plenty of other ways for players to hit each other legally and still be jaw dropping. Either way it goes, I love football and I know eventually they will re-evaluate that rule or strictness of said rule.
While I do like the big hits, I hate seeing 1:43 on here. Both of those players careers were ended by that hit. The Penn State FB suffered a grade 3 concussion, which is the worst there is, while the Michigan DB had an abnormal separation between his C1 and C2 vertebrae, which was potentially life threatening
Tbh. I think they both are still in football. As coaches. I think. I remember watching a documentary called the hit. It was about this play.
the one of bama and texas a&m is not targeting because it was not a defenseless player .
Ryan Cagle It was still helmet to helmet where the defender launched with the crown of the helmet. In the NCAA targeting rules, hitting a player with the crown of the helmet is considered targeting. Its not just about if a player is "defenseless" according to the NCAA.
Ryan Cagle My point was that the rule is too inconsistent
i agree but the everything that rule says has to be in the actual hit and the player was not defenseless.
Ryan Cagle ?
Ryan Cagle Targeting calls can be made even if the player isnt defenless
i have to agree with the person who made this this rule is outrageous they need to fix it so there is an understanding on what should be done the refs can call it all day on the team they dont want to win and make it easier for the other team if they wanted to so yes i agree with the rule no targeting but not at this extent so they need to fix it so the game is fun again for everybody to play and watch. me i would be afraid to hit anybody if they could call it this wat u make the game less interesting to me but i thank u for the vid it was a really good one keep making more about football
Ladies and gentlemen what we have here is pure powered bull right there.
What exactly is targeting? And what defines a defenseless player?
"It is now a less enjoyable and less genuine product than it used to be." It is also leaving less doubt that targeting was extremely dangerous.
I had to pause at Purdue vs Minnesota, lifelong bama fan, I agree with you. Alabama players in past games should of been thrown out, wish you had used the Ruben foster kickoff hits. Clearly should have been thrown out of the game. The minn one hurts to watch because of when they decided to throw the flag. If a ref really thought it was they should have immediately thrown it then they can discuss if they want to pick up the flag or make that call. It almost as if they didn’t have a choice. Doesn’t the replay official have the ability to call for a review on that even if it isn’t called?
I stg people in power piss me off the most in sports.
first off love the video🔥🔥and u got a new sub but if u see this can u make a mike weber video he the rb for osu thanks
#lilnate #3timedunkcontestwinner Thanks man! I might make the video but probably not today bc ill be watching the super bowl
Modell Highlights same here the video can wait who do think will win
#lilnate #3timedunkcontestwinner Falcons wby
Modell Highlights same i just hate the pats see im a seattle fan
#lilnate #3timedunkcontestwinner Haha who doesnt hate the pats?
I have to say that during the 2017-2018 season, they did a lot better about not calling ridiculous penalties. I believe I saw a few that were iffy, but nowhere near as many ridiculous ones as the past few years. Hopefully they will change the ejection rule, or only keep it as a result of a true "flagrant" foul.
Theres also the targetting call on Michigan against Michigan State, where the MSU player shoved the Michigan player ontop of the MSU quarterback, with no head to head contact at all, yet the Targetting call Stands. If players can shove the other team into their defenseless players, why do more teams not block the other teams into their own punters/kickers to draw the flag? Oh, because then it wouldnt be a penalty? NCAA needs to rewrite the rules.
The last thing anyone wants to see in football is an injured player but you know the risk and you accept them when you step into that field.
@ 1:52 The video did not show it but the Nebraska defenders actually bend the QB's face mask up into the helmet. SOLID HIT!
Some rules are stupid. But I do believe the targeting penalty is good. Player safety is a top priority. Sometimes some plays do get called for dumb ass reasons, but targeting should be a penalty in my opinion
Real targeting should be a penalty *
It's ridiculous how refs call any contact with a helmet targeting
And never call it on the top teams
the big problem in my book is they don't call this rule fairly for both sides of the ball. if the runner lowers his head and leads with it into the defenders head, thats targeting as well. It shouldn't be limited to the offense. The offense can be guilty of it too if they lead with it, they just aren't calling it.
"Never had a concussion" that you know of. You can have serious brain damage without getting diagnosed with a concussion. Especially when youre surround by coaches and medical staff who dont actually care about whether youre ok or not and just want to shove you back onto the field.
The players should be the ones to vote on the rules not the NCAA and NFL owners
I only played high school football and that was nearly fifty years ago. We were taught to lead with our heads, but at that time the players were far smaller (our biggest player weighed in at 235lbs) and we weren't nearly as fast as modern players. Given that difference and the evidence of head trauma I understand the rule, however there isn't a football player out there who doesn't understand injuries are part of the game and so is laying a whack on a guy who is trying to beat you.
To be fair, the rule is not ruining the game. It's the implementation and judgement by the refs that is ruining the game. The rule when enforced correctly actually makes a ton of sense and SHOULD be in the game. The refs are just god awful at implementing it.
Targeting, in the NCAA, is not ruining the game. It's keeping players safe. You want the game to be "more entertaining?" Watch the NFL. It's branded as entertainment. NCAA football is NOT entertainment by definition. These are STUDENT athletes playing out there, emphasis on STUDENT. Their safety comes first. If you want player safety to be second, watch the NFL where the players are dedicated athletes.
That being said, yes they do need to clarify the rule quite a bit. Many of the clips shown here were NOT targeting. And as to why the Bama-A&M clip wasn't... well, It's Bama. What else could you possibly expect from the media darlings?
Great video
I would rather have the game for longer because there are less injuries rather than what football used to be and have it around for max 5 more years. Concussions were discovered recently which is why they made the rules. They want to keep the game around.
The way I see it is that they are attempting to protect the offensive players by not letting defenders make a big hit. I also think that they need to be more accurate and specific with the rule, you can’t just say not head to head contact because linemen would be called all the time. I would put the rule as, If the defender intentionally aims to hit with the helmet or aim for the opponents helmet with a significant amount of force they should call it and they could rate the severity of the play from there. That’s just my two cents
What I don't understand is lowering the head. Take the Purdue/Minnesota clip, if he doesn't lower his head, he risks a neck injury. Yes he lowered his head, but he didn't lead with it. If it keeps going, players are just going to have to keep their head up and run into a ball carrier like they're running into a wall. Until they start throwing flags on running backs leading with their head (not as common in today's game, but it still happens), I will keep questioning most of the targeting fouls.
The NCAAF needs to see this
I agree with Jake Nichols that there should be 2 different levels of targetting, 1 for accidental targetting and 1 for intentional targetting. But the rule overall is definitely necessary. ESPECIALLY in college
Again, people take the risk of being injured when putting on the pads and doing what they love. Football is violent, and equipment nowadays is 10x better than it was a decade ago. No shot this rule is needed, shit ruins the game
I think the targeting rule is a good rule, it's not about making the sport "soft" or anything like that. What needs to happen is these refs need to be better trained on what targeting exactly is. They made a step in the right direction by reviewing every potential targeting play, but they still need to better identify it. CTE and other physical problems that arise from constant high impact is a real issue.
I fucking love Ed Reed. Hands down one of the toughest mother fuckers to ever play the game.
As per the alabama ATM no call, "How is this not targeting?"
It is. It's just Alabama, so no one is going to call it.
That hit at 1:43 ended both of their careers
I find it funny how the SEC is the only conference referees who let the teams play and let them not the hell out of each other I see it like this if a student wants to play high school football college and or NFL football they should sign a contract that states what could happen with your health in this sport with concussion head trauma anything for that matter so when they sign it if anything happens to them they can’t sue the school ncaa or the nfl for it bc it was there decision to sign the contract
Agreed targeting is a terrible Penalty with inconsistent traits
The refs have a say whether it is or not
But because of confusion and people who shouldn’t be refereeing several bad calls are made that cause anger to college football fans
The rule needs to be changed or needs to be specified better to where the refs can make a good call instead of guessing
this stupid targeting rule is making me not want to play in College, it's so dumb, like I get that they're trying to make it safer but when players are called out for accidentally hitting the helmet when making an innocent tackle then wtf are you supposed to do? It's not like they can avoid it 100% of the time.
Targeting for College football and Catch rule for NFL are the dumbest things in football history
Sadly, this is the main reason why I stopped watching college football.. I would get more upset with the officiating more than the opposing team.
The CFB people re trying to ruin a good time for the players themselves by making these dumb rules
I completely understand why the rule is there and I do for the most part believe it needs to be there. but there have been alot of hits that I feel were not targeting and players are being punished for attempting to follow the rules. the rule is actually gotten so bad at points that I feel that players should just ignore the targeting rule and just hit how they want because again sometimes even when they are attempting to follow the rule they still getting ejected
urk sho Agreed. I am mostly upset with the players trying to follow the rule and play the game who are being ejected, rather than the rule itself
9:03 because its Alabama
10:08 because big ten refs are stupid
I hate this. Good video, I hate the NCAA. This rule has ruined college football.
I do agree that the rule should be a lot clearer. Some refs will call it differently than others which, I think, makes it harder to play the game. On the other side of things, this is causing coaches to teach better form tackling.
What coach ever taught to put your head down to tackle before targeting was a rule? I know mine didn’t lmfao
“Restore football to the way it was” I love watching players lay life less on the field for 10-20 minutes bc of hits to the head
You’re a pussy then don’t play the game snow flake pretty simple
I do think it's important to note that these are kids 18-22 years old who aren't getting paid anything. I agree that they should loosen some of these rules, but I disagree with the thought that CFB is getting soft.
if im a coach and one of my players gets ejected for a shitty call like this im calling the refs out. "player x made a great clean tackle, thats what we coach them to do but the refs just fucked him."
The Minnesota call was horrendous. That was a textbook tackle
I don't think you guys understand, they changed the rules for SAFTEY reasons. The NCAA want to stop helmet to helmet collisions, I've been hit helmet to helmet and I couldn't see straight for 2 DAYS! I love hitting aggressively I have no problem with it at all, but to a certaint extent you can't just let people get hit helmet to helmet
what are the songs
I’m sick now thanks
9:06 "how is this not targeting?" Because Alabama. Because National Champs. Can't throw them off of the course they've been given.
Glad they made the changes people were dying due to those hits
Refs can mess up games tho and they suck
That hit with USC vs Penn State, was crazy, Taylor Mays knocked out both players in that hit , one of penn states guys and one of his own players haha
The targeting rule is the dumbest rule in football. How are defenders supposed to tackle if the can't hit. Go high... Definitely ejected go low and tear someone's acl then you are a bad guy? Smh
Bryce M24 Agreed 👍🏻
Bryce M24 don’t forget that this is college.
@@zyberzyber so? It's football
How would the Alabama hit on tamu be targeting? Exactly it isn't
I play high school football and while these rules don't apply to me bc refs in high school miss everything, I like the targeting rule. Football has given me concussions before and I've had to sit almost entire seasons out because of one stupid play by one stupid player. While sometimes I understand its unavoidable I really think the rule is important for player safety and player safety is more important than the viewers enjoyment of the sport.
ShaKYGT Fair opinion and I play high school football as well. I just think the rule needs to be more clear and prevent normal football plays from being ejections
lets make pie why? Because you're a bitch and don't like it when people disagree with you
Modell Highlights yeah I agree
crmutter06 aren't there 4 on the field? The two on each sideline, one behind the linebackers, and one behind the QB
ShaKYGT man up dawg its the way the game is played if you don't like it quit. I play because I live for those moments those big plays the glory. Getting hurt is the last thing I worry about. man up fam
