[QUOTE="froginmn, post: 2629625, member: 67577"] Not the why part. It's absolutely silly that they have removed the previous helmet to helmet rules (was called spearing at one time) in favor of the "ejection or nothing" nature of the targeting rule. You're seeing players get injured, like was the case with Turpin. More concussions, more serious injuries, more parents who don't want their kids playing football. Don't allow players to lead with their heads, period. And don't allow them to tackle high, period. And if the offensive player lowers his head, penalize him. Put a soft helmet on their heads and let's see if they tackle with their heads down. [/QUOTE]
Verification
Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
