It definitely could have been targeting. But they didn't call a very similar type of contact with the face mask to the helmet earlier in the game against ASU. Would have been absolute robbery if they called it there and they knew it. 

on the interception our guy was hit with a launched shoulder to helmet IIRC.   No call then too.

Had to look it up

 

NCAA rule
Rule 9-3-2b of the NCAA states that a teammate cannot grasp, pull, or lift the ball carrier to assist in forward progress. The penalty for violating this rule is a five-yard penalty with three-and-one enforcement.

Now do the one for offensive holding and tell me if they call that.

They didnt want to decide the game on that play. It was targeting. It was helmet to helmet. Them not calling that was the most shocking thing of the day after the way they had officiated up to that point in ASU's favor. 

If you look at the rule, a few posts back, the refs got it right. Clean straight up hit. No intention to maim. Great stop, btw

Serious question - is it legal to carry your own guy like that?

That answers my question.  It was super obvious.  How could they miss that?

Correct. It is a judgment call. They could have called it. But there was also justification for not calling it. Too often people think helmet to helmet means automatic targeting.

Not getting Helm a catch until the late 4th quarter is fucking so stupid. This offense clicks when Helm is shredding defenses for 75-85 yards. Also, are our receivers incapable of running simple 6 yard curls or slants? Why the fuck is every pass a fucking bomb down field or a screen?? This offense, oline, Ewers, and Sark should be absolutely fucking disgusted by this performance. No reason this team shouldn’t have won this game by 20+ points.

That's what I was talking about. Bond's g face got hit directly by the safeties' shoulder and facemask. They reviewed it and no call. Those hits were too similar, with Bond being in an even more defenseless position, to call it on Taafe after letting the other one go earlier.

Watching this OSU game…Sark needs to move off the run game early next week if it starts looking like Georgia / ASU 2.0. These guys are going to put up points and we can’t waste any drives getting behind the sticks.

If we can control the LOS and keep our D off the field. A good mixture is still the best bet. Sark called the right plays at the right time today. Will need to do it even harder next week. Quinn needs to get his long ball shit together. Coulda had two add'l long TD passes if he hadn't underthrown/thrown behind two receivers
