Oklahoma Targeting on Lazard During Ryan's TD

In more enlightening news, Kempt-to-Lazard TD was #1 on SportsCenter's top 10 plays...

O wasn't that bad... Was meant to prob knock him down, but it is football.

Lazard is one bad ass blocking wide receiver. He destroys every single corner he gets. Sets edges. Big advantage.

Best blocking WR in school history and it's not even close

If I ever saw targeting with intent to harm, it was on that play. The linebacker was clearly beat and he speared Lazard after Lazard completed his block. Dangerous and uncalled for.

Anyone see it differently?

Yes. This is tackle football, not powder puff.

I think he takes a lot of pride in his blocking - and I effing love it. That will get him to the next level IMO.

Should have been a personal foul called. Play was already past him at this point, and this cheap shot was unnecessary.

Granted I watched on my phone, but I didn't see helmet contact there that would cause targeting. It looked like a shoulder into the chest. Cheap shot, but whatever, it's football.

Definitely a cheap shot, but not targeting

Personally I didn't see much wrong with other than it was a bit late, but that happens all the time.

What I thought was funny was that he made a horrible play because instead of trying to run down the actual ball carrier he just decided to knock Lazard on his butt instead. If I were Lazard I would have gotten up and said "hey, nice shot there buddy, but I don't have the ball.... that's in the endzone right now.".
