Updykes exempt from the "targeting" rule.

[Plainstalk 32]

I told a friend last week after Frost got ejected that the Updykes would take a cheap shot and get away with it against A&M. My prophecy was validated when the replay booth overruled the call on the field. They did get a 15-yard penalty on the play but the game could have had a different outcome. I HATE the new rule but if we have to abide by it so should the Updykes!!!!!!!

That was not targeting. The replay booth got the call right. Take off the O&B glasses and watch it again. I can't believe I said that as a self professed Sunshine Pumper and uat hater.

Exactly, it wasn't targeting and it was a borderline penalty at that

[WarTiger 3,901]

It shouldn't have been a penalty at all. The replay booth was right in reversing the ejection. Nobody is "exempt" from the targeting rule. All these black helicopters and conspiracies are getting old.

Everybody plays by the same rules during the game. It's away from the field where uat thinks they are above the law and do whatever they want. Hopefully the NCAA nails them to the wall soon.

Wartiger, what is the longest period of time you've ever seen 1 team make it through a season without a holding call on the offensive line?

That was a horrible call as much as it pains me to say that coming from a Auburn fan. The truth of it is the penalty itself should have been overturned as well, but I understand the rules and the penalty stands and the ejection was overturned. Right call from the booth. The defender was making a play on the ball plain and simple.

End of 2nd Quarter

In the Texas A&M game they didn't have an offensive holding penalty but did have a total of 12 penalties for 104 yards. several were false starts, and one was an unsportsmanlike conduct and a holding call on defense. This conspiracy theory is just crap. MSU got flagged for holding twice saturday. Auburn had ZERO holding penalties. Is there a conspiracy now to not flag Auburn for holding?

[around4ever 4,139]

I tried to go back and find a post yesterday, from the old AE, on this. I don't remember who posted it but it was detailed. In the 2011 season, the games with SEC officials (11 or 12 games) they had three holding penalties. In the games with other conference refs (2 or 3 games I think it was) they had 6 or 7 holding calls. I wish I could find the post or the stats. Anybody got any ideas?

And you know wants the targeting yardage penalty also reviewed allowing it to be dropped... I think most college coaches would agree.

No reason to be a rear end when someone asked you a very direct question, I said nothing about a conspiracy at all. Here is a simple fact, I said nothing about VaTech or Moo State. In 2010, the turds went for 45.5 consecutive quarters without an offensive holding call. That is impossible. FTR, I'm glad they still clocked them the 15 yards, but it was a bogus call. If an official is charged with upholding a rule that is absurd, the rule,league and governing body is at fault not the official. Who knew stripes were so blinding? Try reading what is actually said or asked instead of applying your own bias to it.

Yep, and I keep seeing Alabama fans bragging about the Christian Jones hit against Ms St. that was blatant targeting.
