The replay center in Dallas only reviews against Texas, apparently. I get the on field refs missing it, but the replay center is supposed to catch that shit.

Someone in WVU pressbox should have been on it as well.  There were two full minutes of the guy being down for someone to page Holgorsen.

Yup it’s all fucked. Completely inexcusable that it wasn’t looked at, but you know somebody saw it in the booth or where ever they watch it and politely shut the replay monitor off for a couple minutes and excused themselves from the room. And fuck Holgo for not going completely fucking ballistic. He must be too drunk to care.

That wasn't targeting.  The ballcarrier was still moving forward. 

Nah, it's textbook. He was defenseless because he was in the grasp of another defender.

No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6). (A.R. 9-1-4-I-VI)

Note 1: "Targeting" means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball. Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to:

  • Launch—a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area
  • A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground
  • Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area
  • Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet

Note 2: Defenseless player (Rule 2-27-14):

  • A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass.
  • A receiver attempting to catch a forward pass or in position to receive a backward pass, or one who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
  • A kicker in the act of or just after kicking a ball, or during the kick or the return.
  • A kick returner attempting to catch or recover a kick, or one who has completed a catch or recovery and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
  • A player on the ground.
  • A player obviously out of the play.
  • A player who receives a blind-side block.
  • A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped.
  • A quarterback any time after a change of possession.
  • A ball carrier who has obviously given himself up and is sliding feet-first

I’m not exactly old but the thought just dawned on me. Before review was instituted I don’t remember but a few plays per week that were controversial. Then there were a few that were key in getting review implemented. Now it seems as if there are 10 per game. The refs are getting lazy.
