Braylon Mitchell Question

[HogWildBison2011]

Just curious if he will be punished further? (By the NCAA) I have seen other players suspended for the next game in college after a targeting call & ejection. I think we all know he wasn't being malicious with the hit. But if he did make contact with his hands/forearms/crown of the helmet to his face mask/helmet the call was legit.

Can you give an example of a player being ejected and then missing the entire next game for targeting?

[rogers-hog]

Pretty sure If you're ejected for targeting you miss the next half, so he served that during the game if it occurred in the 2nd half you sit out the first half next game.

[GolfNut57]

Targeting is a 1 game suspension. Braylon had to sit out the second half of the Georgia game and will sit out the first half of the next game.

Our qbs get hit worse on a game by game basis. Nuff said

That was actually one positive from the game.

Unless I missed something, he waited for the verdict and calmly left the field without throwing a fit, and he obviously didn't do it on purpose.

Yep.

Players penalized for targeting must sit out the rest of the half and the next half, whether it's the second half of the current game or the first half of the next game. He will be able to play the whole UAB game since it was in the first half.

It was a wrong call, no matter how you look at it. Qb held the ball long enough to pose a threat to run. Shouldn't have been bailed out by another horrible call by a ref. two game changing calls in this weeks game alone. Horrible!

So, if YOU don't know the rule, it is a horrible call.

He will be back for the UAB game. The rule on targeting is that if you are ejected in the 2nd half you sit out the first half of the next game. Since he was ejected in the 1st half there is no further penalty

You must have been watching the wrong game....our players are undisciplined

It was the correct call.  Helmet to Helmet contact will get that call every time.  You need to do more research before calling it horrible.

The link in the OP is the rule... Just FYI

[GolfnHog]

•A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped.

If this is part of the "targeting" rule then why wasn't this called a couple of times last weekend when the Hog runners were continually thrown around after forward progress was stopped and the whistles had clearly been blown to stop play.

On one particular play JWill was literally picked up off the ground to be body slammed but the only reason it didn't happen was that one of the OLmen was pushed into the guy about to do the body slamming.

If it is a rule of "intent" then that play in particular should have resulted in a personal foul.
