[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 197297, member: 198"] What it shows is that Mason was stopped and being held in a defenseless position when the UNC defender came in and speared Mason in the side of the helmet. There was no question watching the play live on TV that Mason was in a defenseless position and that the defender lead with the helmet, making helmet-to-helmet contact first. Mason was running at the time, so it muddies the scenario a little, but the other defender had control of Mason, and he wasn't going anywhere. It was a dangersous tackle for the defender, as much if not more than Mason. In my opinion, this is a personal foul, Spearing. However, the way the rules are written now, this is Targeting and the defender should have been ejected. Don't agree with this, but thems the rules everyone in charge agreed to play by. [@Stinger90 [USER=195]@AE 87[/USER] ] I believe his point in posting the picture was to show that Carolina got away with a Targeting offense. That tackle knocked Mason out of the game temporarily, so it could have been a very pivotable play. Fortunately for Clemson, Bryant (with the help of the running game) kept the ball until Mason was able to return. (and based on the high level of mental acuity you've demonstrated on this board, I don't believe for a moment that you didn't understand the point of him posting that picture.) [/QUOTE]
