Not going to dwell on the should of been targeting, but for Will to take a hit like that and remain in the game, he is one tough hombre. Players will watch that on film and their respect for him will grow even more. He is one tough hombre.
Will Levis Is a Tough Hombre

Why not dwell on such an egregious injustice? They are a dirty team that always pulls this crap and the ref's/league protect them almost every time.
Not only that hit, but the hit directly to the side of his knee. ACL tear type stuff. Just walked it off.
I’m glad he tough. But he ain’t Superman. No one is. I’m afraid he’s gonna get hurt.
You could tell it rattled him. His eyes didnt look the same after. Mine wouldnt either. But kudos to him. And yes he is tough
Let’s hope we get up 21-0 early next week so the man can rest. He’s gonna be sore as hell tomorrow but he’ll be okay with any pain for the win, I’m sure.
Justin Shorter? Played at Penn State with Levis
Does anybody know the rationale for overturning the targeting call?
I thought if it was helmet to helmet contact it was automatically targeting. It definitely was . So what is it about the rule I don’t understand?
thanks in advance if you are a ref or up on the rules
why have a targeting penalty at all if you are not going to call it in that situation.

I was watching the game with my wife and said that this was a perfect example of helmet-to-helmet contact on the QB... which should be targeting. I said that they call this in order to protect the QB. Not in Gainsville, FL apparently. This was a baaaaad call. Even the announcers said that it was an obvious call. The officials should be investigated. Homer officials won here.
FWIW, the announcers tonight said that in addition to H2H the rule requires an “indicator” (of intent maybe?), such as launching. I’ve got blue tinted glasses, obviously, but the pass rusher had time to avert a H2H collision, did not, and then ground the quarterback’s helmet off his face. If the intention of the rule is to protect QBs and minimize traumatic injury, that hit has to be illegal.
Thats why having a big tough dude QBing your squad cannot be overstated.
That hit knocks “alot” of QBs out of that contest.
Levis is a STUD!
It was an arm hit to the knee not helmet or shoulder. It was also a payback call for screwing us on the targeting overrule.

That was borderline dirty. Don’t give a shit who says different.
That wasn’t a dirty hit. It was a solid stick. It was the same hit our kid knocked Tebow out with a few years back but from the front this time. But within the rules of todays game I thought it would have been called targeting. I hate the targeting call 90 percent of the time and maybe I don’t understand it. But I thought it was a foul to hit a defenseless player in the face and head area.
But fortunately they gave us a sweet makeup call later on the absolutely bullshit roughing the passer call when the dude was grabbing at Levi’s legs. I’ll take it though
