And when will we hear that explanation on the missed targeting call?
When does the SEC address obvious game changing missed calls?
- Thread starter Mike_Edwards
- Start date
Sure wish we had you in the secondary this year, Mike. 😁
Wasn’t targeting. Levis was not a defenseless player and lowered his head on the run. Just assuming that is the play you are referring to.
Lol wrong. It was clearly targeting.
I say the helmet popper offer in the swamp they said was a no call they missed & todays game was a helmet to helmet shot. Not only that but the protocols have been scrapped and those unaccountable weasels acting |=u€|<ing blind are gonna get a promising future professional hurt b/c of their repeated missed calls.
Cowardly Chris Coyote type a calls. Their should be way more forced hands to make them review head shots etc. They should be far more accountability on the senior citizen weasels derelict in their duties.

If that was targeting then every running back gets targeted on every run. Regardless you ain’t getting that call once the QB becomes a runner. If that was Rodriguez nobody would have said anything
The targeting rules are so inconsistently officiated that’s it hard to know what they even are at times. Looked like the defensive player did lead into the hit with the crown of his helmet, which could have been a reason to throw the flag, but at the same time, Levis was purely a runner at that point and also led with his helmet, so I kind of understand why they didn’t.
Even if you want to argue that it was textbook targeting, let’s not try to turn it into a conspiracy though. We actually got the ball back after the refs missed a facemask call against us that wasn’t even debatable. We just made too many mistakes that had nothing to do with officiating to overcome today.

To me the bigger misses were all the holding calls, especially in the first half that occurred by Ole Miss. Regardless, UK had a chance to win the game and fumbled it away. When you have three turnovers in the final minutes of a game, those are hard odds to overcome.
They never will. The only time they have in the past is when the official made it so blatantly obvious they had to fire them after the game. Even then they didn't EVER address the fraud perpetrated by the official inbthe game itself. They simply fired them and said nothing else.
Rewatching the game now and they've missed two holding calls against OM already, not even 5min into the 1st Q.
2-3 more holds on the OM offense missed by the Rebras in this one. Jerseys extended and still no calls. Lmao
Taunting by OM D after a missed block by TE.

Missed an easy obvious offensive pi too that resulted in an important 3rd down conversion and iirc a TD.
To the refs credit, they called them for two more after.
I'm fine with no targeting call. Just make it consistent. I don't want to see one just like that go against us down the road
On the
Normally I agree with your takes but the inconsistency in targeting calls has probably cost UK a couple of games. So I don’t think it’s a poor look on our fans calling it out.
Refs didn't lose us this game poor kicking and turnovers did
We lost because we lefttoo many points on the field. Kicking, poor line play, and Levis trying to make plays that aren't there is the cause of the leaving points.
Levis is a warrior, ad never gives up on a play. That can be a good thing. Today, it bit him in the ass. Poor kicking is what it is. Ruffalo is at best serviceable at kicker. Can't blame the bad snaps on him though.
The line is just a work in progress. Only time will fix them.
We played as poorly as we could have and we were still 51 sec's from tying the game, and 15 yards from winning. No one needs to panic. Beat EwwTee, and we're back on schedule. Beat Georgia ( tall order) and we're the toast of the town.
Let's celebrate BBrown instead. Kid is a special talent and we need to enjoy him while we have him. Also Keys, Robinson, and Magwood. And Crod as well. First game back and he was moving piles. That should knock the game rust off. He will only get better now.

That’s what I thought. Maybe I’m just not understanding the rule but I didn’t think you could ever lead with the crown of your helmet, regardless of whether or not the runner is defenseless.
Now the non touchback and not reviewing the forward arm movement is a different story
If you are referring to the touchback on the kick out of bounds when they were talking about their favorite food place, it was the right call. The guy for Ole Miss apparently knew the rules. Once he put his feet out of bounds he was considered out of bounds. Therefore the ball is kicked out of bounds once he touches it. Very smart play by him.
No. The non touchback call on the punt that resulted in the safety. You had the guy with the ball sliding over the goaline and scuffing up the paint and the guy laying in the end zone reach out and touch the ball. They spotted it in the1 despite it
Read the rule, specifically says a defenseless runner, key being defenseless, may not be hit in head or neck area with helmet, shoulder, forearm or hand. All protection provided the QB goes out the window once he pulls it down and takes off. And the rule specifically says defenseless runner.
I thought the 2nd call fumble was far worse call, looked like his arm was coming forward and ball come out. I guess they reviewed it, UK wasn't able to appeal because it had spent the timeouts.
TCU beat OU, but at the end of the first half of that game, the refs missed a blatant pass interference, potential targeting, when an OU player lit-up a TCU WR before the ball arrived. And, one series later, the refs called a TCU PR for a fair catch after he was 10-15 yards down the field. The replay showed he never raised his arms. THAT appeared to be some blatantly bad reffing.
On the non TB, the announcers' rules expert said the ball was dead at the spot the ball is secured regardless of what happens after that. If true, the call was right.
On the arm motion, UK couldn't ask for a review because we were out of timeouts.
