JRP Hit

Targeting or not, that should have been offsetting penalties. Sitting at the front of 129, the taunting and sideline infraction WA a something even the Cincy coaching couldn't control. They didn't even review it!
 
There’s obviously a pattern here, hitting players out of bounds. Did you see the hit on that SMU player last week wher they were frustrated and tore off his helmet? They are now the most penalized team in the FBS and coach Fickell says he’s proud of it.

Its their Identity now, like the Rutgers teams that would T off when the other team went into victory formation. Oh wait Cincy did that too
 
The penalty was on Gamble. He basically head butted a coach on the sideline who was calling for a targeting penalty to be called against JRP (I'm assuming). The coach was yelling and doing the throw the flag motion. You can see it at the 15 sec mark of the video above, just watch behind JRP. When I was watching live I thought he was gonna get thrown out of the game.
 
JRP lowered his head before contact. Got to lead with your shoulder and not your head. Surprised that they never reviewed the play though.

They may have reviewed it upstairs. There was plenty of time. It's unclear to me the division of duties regarding the "replay official" and why sometimes we have to get out the little TV for the R ref to look at.

I was confused on this as you stated.
They didn’t do a good job of announcing it and even the field markers took a minute to get it right.

It was 3rd and 10 and plumlee got 9 yards (4th and one). Penalty was unsportsmanlike on us after the play, so you don’t get to redo the down and you move back 15 yards. 4th and 16.

mid we would have made the first down, we would still have had a first down, but the line of scrimmage would have been moved back 15 for the penalty.

The NCAA targeting rule bans any forcible contact leading with the crown of the helmet or to the head or neck area of a defenseless player.
I would guess its lands fully on "defenseless player'. After watching it a day later, I'd say you can't say he was defenseless. PS, the rule is just stupid anyway. You mean if someone hits me in the head with the crown of the helmet, yet I saw it coming, I can't get a concussion--- AWESOME.

The rule is to prevent neck injuries. Not concussions.
