[QUOTE="gtg936g, post: 189065, member: 623"] This. I am not exactly sure how we teach tackling in college, but it is very difficult for linemen not to have some incidental helmet contact because of their size. I was taught differently than the kids are today, but as others have said wrapping up negates the targeting IMO. A lineman wrapping up is a lot different than a safety leaving his feet to obliterate a QB with a high speed hit. I will point out that neither the UNC QB nor the FSU QB was hurt. I will also point out that several players were hurt during the game by incidental high speed hits, and I think those are the most troubling. I am not really sure I understand why QBs get special treatment from a rules perspective. They were never the ones that sustained the majority of the injuries anyway. If any player gets hit with a late or cheap shot, then the official should call it, but a hit should not be ok for one player to take and wrong for another. [/QUOTE]
