Is this targeting?

they did not cost us the game.

running a prevent defense late in the 4th and going 1/7 on 2pt tries is what lost us the game.

we've won games THIS SEASON that have had ****ty officials, most notably the Duke game. Refs making bad calls doesn't lose you a game, but how you play and roll with the punch afterwards does.

The defense we were running late in the 4th got a turnover on downs that would have ended the game, and the refs took it away.

The play was reviewed. The ref came on after the TV TO and said the ruling of a Georgia recovery stands. The defender put his helmet into the ball. That is legal. Tough break for GT and it turned the game.

It looks to me like the UGA player's helmet was lowered and hit King's facemask before making contact with the ball. The SOB was leading with the crown of his helmet and made contact with the opposing player's helmet actually it looks to me like King's facemask absorbed the blunt of the blow and then the ball.

Come on, man. I get that you love to argue and stick to the devil's advocate "realistic" fan persona all the time and I applaud you for your commitment to it. But you correctly quote the official as saying the ruling of a Georgia recovery stands when they returned from the commercial. Never was targeting mentioned despite the fact that the officials typically announce "the previous play is under review for targeting" even if it wasn't flagged on the field and then return with an announcement about whether targeting occurred or not. And we also know that every turnover is supposed to be reviewed regardless of how obvious it may have been.

Are you now trying to say that we should assume that they reviewed for targeting even though there was never a mention of the possibility from either the officials or the commentary team because the fumble was obvious? And you still believe that this wasn't targeting because he "put his helmet into the ball"? I'm just trying to figure out if you're serious or just having fun trolling on the internet?

There were absolutely multiple opportunities for us to pull this game out. For example, the redo after PI in OT6 sure looked like they sold out to stop King and either Jamal or Singleton could have scored fairly easily on the perimeter. We still had opportunities to win even though they missed what appeared to be (to everyone I've talked to except you including Dwag fans) a completely ignored targeting that would have extended our clock killing drive for the win. We still could have won even with the missed call, but let's not pretend it didn't happen (like the refs did).

Gee, what a "tough break" it would be if a Texas player were to break that guy's leg? Gosh, what a shame. That ******* could seriously injure someone doing that. He led with the crown of his helmet, and the blow was enough to jerk King's head back. I suspect from multiple views that he hit King's facemask before contact with the ball.

Plenty of GT fans on here know basic physics, right?
For everyone saying the uga player just hit King’s chest (or the ball) but not his head area (facemask or helmet), take a close look at the video at the instant contact is made. Contact to the chest = Kings’s head jerks forward (body stops but King’s forward momentum carries head forward). Contact to King’s head = King’s head jerks backward.
His head jerks back at the instant of contact. Obvious missed call that mattered. I don't know that it was deliberate on the part of the refs; calls are missed all the time. But the announcers cutting to commercial and never mentioning a review for targeting is puzzling.

As the physically lesser team, there are only so many arrows in the quiver. If you keep giving the more physically gifted team opportunities, they’ll eventually win. That is what happened.

It’s like walks and errors in baseball. You can’t give your opponent baserunners and extra outs and expect to win. When the umps make bad calls to extend the inning, bad things usually happen. Yes, the other team can still win, but it’s that much harder.

I keep seeing people say they were more talanted and physically gifted etc, on paper yes, but I didn’t see it on the field

The bs PI on 4th down absolutely did, also the ignored targeting hit on King, yes we had other chances to win in OT but it should never have come to that, i’m just sick that we couldn’t convert any of those game winning opportunities

The targeting call would have gotten us between the 40 and 50 with 1st and 10. Their defensive approach would have had to change since we would then have been 20-30 from a FG. That’s one mid-range pass completion. They couldn’t stack the box anymore. Running suddenly becomes easier. If we stalled, we then punt them deep with likely less than a minute left. Or, we get one more first down and ice the game.

As it is, they are now ranked #6 and we get 2 votes in one poll.

Football is a game of inches… and temporary blindness.

We did not rush 3 the whole 4th quarter, he mixed it up, nothing was stopping them

We left the middle open in prevent. Easy throw and 5 to 10 yards after catch. I don't understand why at least one DB or LB sits about 5 to 7 yards behind the LOS in prevent. They went through us like knife through butter on the TD with about 5 minutes left. It was painful to watch.

I do find it interesting that the 2 games I felt we got the most bad calls/no calls from refs were the mutts and Georgia State. Coincidentally, both were SEC crews...

If you're a conspiracy theorist, forget the SEC crews... BRIAN KEMP (known mutt) WAS AT BOTH THOSE GAMES!!!!
