导出博客文章The NCAA has issued two new interpretations to guide how officials should
identify targeting fouls, one of which is meant to clarify the exact location of
the crown -- the part of the helmet which must be used to incur such a targeting
penalty.It seems that some officials have been interpreting the crown of the
helmet to mean the tip-top portion of the helmet only, NCAA Football
Secretary-Rules Editor Rogers Redding said in a release. We want everyone to
understand that the crown of the helmet starts from the area above the facemask
to the dome of the helmet.The NCAAs reiteration, which comes in the aftermath of
Stanford wide receiver Francis Owusus concussion at UCLA last week, clashes with
a Pac-12 statement supporting its officials decision not to penalize the Bruins
Tahaan Goodman for his hit on the play.While there was certainly
helmet-to-helmet contact, neither the game officials on the field or the replay
officials called targeting because contact was with the front of the helmet and
not the crown (top) of the helmet, the conference said in a release.Replays
showed that Goodman appeared to hit Owusus helmet with the area above his
facemask. According to the NCAAs release, that counts as the crown -- meaning
that the hit should have been flagged for targeting.Stanford coach David Shaw
advocated for rules changes as a result of the non-call this week, saying that a
targeting penalty should blanket all helmet-to-helmet contact -- and not just
that initiated by the crown of the helmet.To me, the letter of the law is
immaterial, Shaw said. If you have contact on one helmet to another helmet, that
should be a penalty. We should go back and reword our rulings, go back and
reteach our officials and our replay officials. Were trying to take care of
these young men. Plays like this should be penalized so that they stop
happening. If we dont penalize them, they will continue to happen.... There is
language [in the rulebook] that obviously needs to be amended, preferably sooner
than later. And I think youll get relatively unanimous support for such
language.The second interpretation released by the NCAA on Friday pertained to
replay officials, who have the opportunity to stop the game to determine if an
egregious targeting foul was missed by on-field officials.There have been some
instances where this rule couldve been applied for targeting fouls, Redding
said. We want to provide more guidance so that this rule is applied more
consistently.

another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St. LEXINGTON,
Ky. -- Kentucky looks to reach what has been an elusive plateau when the
Wildcats host a Georgia squad desperate to halt a stunning freefall.Those are
just some of the stakes in Saturday nights matchup between teams on opposite
paths. Georgia (4-4, 2-4 Southeastern Conference) has lost four of five entering
the matchup with the Wildcats (5-3, 4-2 SEC), who have won five of six including
three in a row and look to become bowl eligible for the first time since
2010.The Bulldogs aim to halt Kentuckys quest by ending their own slide that has
them on the brink of falling below .500 after being in the Top 25 just over a
month ago. Georgia managed just 164 yards of offense in last weeks 24-10 loss to
No. 10 Florida in Jacksonville, an effort it cant duplicate against a Kentucky
team thats rolling in many areas.Weve got to be able to answer the things they
give us, first-year Georgia coach Kirby Smart said, whether its throwing the
ball, whether its running the ball outside or running the ball out of more
spread formations. It certainly hasnt been as consistent as wed like it to
be.Kentucky has shown a lot of resiliency since starting 0-2. Just two weeks ago
the Wildcats postseason hopes seemed destined to take a serious blow before they
rallied past Mississippi State 40-38 on a 51-yard field goal as time expired.
They beat Missouri 35-21 last week.Whether that gut check was a turning point in
Kentuckys season remains to be seen. But it has definitely given the Wildcats
confidence they can achieve anything -- including their best SEC mark in recent
memory.It says a lot about this teams character, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said
of the run. I dont think any one thing has changed over the past five or six
weeks, this has been going on for a long time. Coaches have worked hard for many
years, doing things to put players in position to do good things.---Some other
things to watch as Georgia visits Kentucky:TTRENCH WARRIORS: Kentucky has
averaged 299 yards rushing per game during its win streak and 261 per outing
over the past six games.dddddddddddd Credit goes to a deep offensive line
anchored by senior center Jon Toth that has blended experience and youth after
being sometimes criticized at times. It feels good to be appreciated, Toth said,
but weve always come out and tried to run the ball and protect the quarterback.
Were not doing anything different, just trying to do it as best we can every
week.DEFENSIVE `DAWGS: Georgia remains one of the SECs top defensive teams,
ranking fourth with an average of 326.1 yards allowed per contest. Theyre also
fourth against the rush (109.8) but face a big challenge against Kentuckys
ground game thats averaging more than double that amount (219.5) behind the duo
of Boom Williams and Benny Snell.BIG-PLAY BADET: Not overshadowed by Boom N
Benny is Kentucky wide receiver Jeff Badet, who has 243 yards and three TDs on
10 receptions the past two weeks with the scores covering 40, 44 and 65 yards.
Jeff has stepped up big and we needed him to, Stoops said.NO HANGOVER: No matter
how Georgia has fared against Florida, a game better known as The Worlds Largest
Outdoor Cocktail Party, the following game has recently provided an upside. The
Bulldogs have won the past nine games following the Jacksonville showdown,
including three wins over Kentucky.NOSE FOR THE BALL: Junior college transfer
Naquez Pringle has been a force at nose guard for the Wildcats since debuting at
Florida. He ranks 11th on the team with 24 tackles the past seven games and made
five tackles each against the Gators and Vanderbilt. A defense that was the SECs
worst a few weeks ago has improved to 10th at 421.2 yards allowed per
game.---More AP college football:
