I’ll lead with I’m glad no flag was thrown. But, he led with the crown of his helmet and his head was down. Players have broken their necks before tackling that way. It most definitely could have been called

Looks to me like a hit down lower, then King doubles up and lowers his head. Nothing dirty.
I’ve seen our running backs get hit crown to crown and no call. But receivers and QBs get them. If you are at or near the line of scrimmage they seldom call it and if they had in this case it would have been reversed.
Both teams got away with holds, PI and other penalties. I thought Georgia got the better end of it but why has this place become this mob scene with torches.
It was a great game with both teams giving everything they had.

Nah, clean hit. Review looked at it and let it ride. Same when tech clearly targeted our we in the end zone
This was a pussy free game and the teams fought it out.
Refs largely stayed out of it except for the phantom pi in ot

Doesnt explain the helmet moving first not to mention you cant lead with the helmet to begin with.
Example of targeting ejections and it starts at OU targeting Nebraska QB with the explanation being if youre looking at the ground its targeting; doesnt matter where you hit.

As already posted, can't hit with the crown of the helmet and the rule is in place to protect the defender. Go ahead and tell me why that is wrong.
So you don't know the rule, or didn't watch the play, thanks for clearing that up.

1) struck a player while leading with the crown of his helmet.
2) lunged crown first making contact with a player's head area.
He did both. This isn't that hard to learn and understand. Figure it out for yourself.
I'd be willing to bet that if an Auburn player had made the same play in the Iron Bowl, you'd be giving him a pass. The targeting rule is way overused, and, as it stands, is detrimental to the game. "Malicious Intent" should be added to the definition of the penalty so that players aren't afraid to make aggressive plays.
