Targeting is one of the most controversial penalty calls in college football simply because, like pass interference, it's not always easy to delineate between a tackler targeting a ballcarrier, or the ballcarrier causing the targeting foul to occur.
And then, once in a while, it's clear as day.
This is not just targeting on Liberty's punter Aidan Alves, it's TARGETING. Alves didn't even attempt to use his arms; he just lowered his head like a ram fighting another ram for the right to mate with a female.
This is how Liberty’s punter got ejected for targeting.

This is most definitely targeting. And it’s a punter committing it. pic.twitter.com/hu0PixI8O0

This is not just a technique that is 150 percent incorrect, it's dangerous to the ball carrier and the tackler himself.
