WATCH: Dan Jackson ejected for targeting, will miss first half of Florida game
AUSTIN, Texas — Georgia will be without senior safety Dan Jackson for the remainder of the Texas game, along with the first half of Georgia’s next game against Florida.
Comments
These refs should be fired and audited.
It is not just the refs themselves. Targeting is so subjective that official reviewers can not in good conscience clearly delineate most offenses. To compound this by a rule which invites injury to the tackler if properly avoiding use of the crown in some circumstances and extending the penalty to include the first half of the next game (if this call is made in the second half of the present game) exudes the wonkiness our world is tending toward in so may ways.
college football needs to overhaul this rule. If it is truly for safety and not some effort to placate concerned parents, then it should also be enforced when the offensive player drops his head when anticipating a hit. Had that not happened in Dan Jackson’s case, there would have been no targeting. He would have hit the guy in the midsection. The SEC should overturn that targeting suspension—at least don’t penalize a player wrongly for an entire game.
