All I can say was that this was typical USF. First goal at the one and we get nothing. It’s tough being a fan but I will go on...

Sadly you don’t, but the rule is written to go both ways. Anyone that has played defense knows in that situation once you have committed and the offensive player lowers his head it’s too late. Should be a no call. 

The person doing the tackling  is the person doing the targeting.  Common Sense 101. And no, it’s not written to go both ways. It clearly defines  who are defenseless players. Those are people with the ball.

How do you tackle without your helmet hitting someone when the runner lowers his helmet in the path of your helmet?

He was targeting his lower body and the runner moved his head down.

 Don’t put this on the refs. 

I will.  They took away the go-ahead TD and GT did next-to-nothing on offense after that.

 You’re supposed to have your head up when you do that.

You know your right. Obviously you know much more about football and have played much more than I have.

It is what it is... Not happy about loss but we saw capitulation today. We should see steady improvement throughout the rest of season.

No, but I’m sure this coach has.

You show YouTube videos on tackling. Thanks for making my point for me.
