There was immediate outcry with Alabama headed to the BCS Championship Game that Dial be suspended. Murray didn't suffer a concussion, but he couldn't catch his breath for a large majority of halftime. You see my body facing one way and my eyes are looking to my right like, 'Oh my God, I'm about to die.'' I him about to hit me, literally, at the last millisecond. 'He knocked my block off, that's for sure,' Murray said. As the ball was being returned, Bama nose tackle Quinton Dial blind-sided Murray. In the first half of that Alabama victory, Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray threw an interception. The revelation basically came from the 2012 SEC Championship Game. 'That's when you saw an enlightenment,' Steve Shaw said. The rule has been modified three times since 2013 when ejection was implemented. The targeting penalty was instituted in 2008. We're never going to be perfect, but we are working hard to preserve the faculties of these players.' 'Players have done a much better job for the most part avoiding those hits. Retired college official Mike Defee agreed that targeting penalties have changed behavior. They are allowed to stay on the sidelines with their teammates. Coaches are changing what they're teaching.'Дavid Shaw said a sign of progress is ejected players no longer having to take 'the walk of shame' to the locker room. It goes into spring football and training camps. 'When you emphasize something, that's when you get more calls. 'Absolutely it has worked,' said David Shaw, also an AFCA board of trustees member. To some, this is proof that the entire system is working. That's the highest rate since replay was allowed in the process to create a targeting foul in 2016. To this point, 41% of the targeting calls have been initiated by the replay booth, taking the decision out of officials' hands. 'Fans think there's one in every game, and there's just not,' Shaw said. That's one every 4.5 games, an improvement of 22% over the COVID-19-impacted 2020 season when there was one every 3.70 games. So far this season, there is an average of only 0.22 targeting fouls enforced per game. That's the lowest figure since 2015 (120). Through Week 10 of the 2021 season, the number of targeting fouls enforced was 140. Statistics obtained by CBS Sports back up the assertion that targeting has reduced those massive hits. They would want to show a pattern of behavior that the NCAA really does not respect player health and safety.'ДЄs mentioned, the targeting rule has changed behavior. He added: 'We can't have anything that immediately looks like, 'Football said, 'We're OK with targeting.' Anything backtracking is not only not good for the game вЂ¦ certainly some of these plaintiff lawyers would love that. 'I think the rules committee will look at ways to modify the penalty without losing the impact of player safety and behavior.' 'I'm not going to tell you have the answer yet,' Shaw said. That smacks of a form of flopping that is already distressing the game's leaders.
