With about a minute to go in the Oregon game – their safety McKinley was called with an obvious targeting. After reviewing they overturned the call. Both announcers were stunned. It was classic targeting. I am not a conspiracy kind of guy – but I’m willing to bet that a call came from PAC12 headquarters telling them that it had no effect on that game – so overturn it. They did not want one of the key defensive players for Oregon benched in the first half of the championship game.
This was just wrong.
I am all for playing Oregon at full-strength. But, the rules are the rules and someone made the decision to overturn an obvious targeting.
