That’s some shady sh!t it was targeting 101

I have thought defenseless and helmet to helmet but I don’t know that I’d say it was with the crown. Looked face to face. That crown thing almost has to be exactly on the top of the helmet, the slightest variation and they don’t call it.
Game over,
Got to get a strong explanation about the targeting from someone

This guy yells every call - big or not
Dude it was a 3 yard catch. Relax

They must have determined he wasn't defenseless I guess. Because it doesn't have to be the crown. Helmet is enough by rule.
But to say he wasn't defenseless is nuts.

It's "safer" for the tackler leading with the facemask because the head pushes backwards. Leading with the crown the tackler risks compressing his own spine or neck bending the wrong way, separating vertebrae.
Still helmet to helmet hit though.
Helmet ot helmet isn’t always necessarily targeting. I thought defenseless player might have gotten it there but it didn’t.
They also look at crown of the helmet. If it’s literally not a hit from the bullseye on the top of the helmet, they won’t call it. Just a slight variation and off center and no targeting.
The Big 12 is garbage and did not deserve a spot (more sarcasm).
Human tendency is to drop your head, although what you say is true, tackling is taught with shoulders now
Longhorn money buys no-call targeting but God and Karma takes over!
Does the fact that the ball was tipped at the line of scrimmage have any impact on a targeting call? I would not think so.
I’d bet the argument they make is that the receiver was not defenseless.
I bet K State fans do not taunt visiting fans like USC fans do.
