Does the Bama WR have to sit first half next week?

No. It was in the first half. If it had been in the second half then yes
That has never been the rule for a first half targeting call.
I have to wonder, what is the rationale of punishment for a misdeed that varies by what part of the game it occurred in. That is bizarre.
You sit out the next half. Whatever game that happens to be in.
I agree. I think "targeting" should be a thing, like the NBA flagrant foul rule, but it shouldn't matter when it happens during a game.
Sit out the next half? That's idiotic. If it's enough to sit out, should be automatic ejection from the current game, and suspended for at least the next game.
He was ejected from the game. You are immediately ejected and then you miss the next half.
That's even more ridiculous. So he got ejected, and had to sit out the half he was already ejected for.
I just can't find the logic in that, even if this case was an aberration.
I don't know. These thugs can't seem to be able to stop themselves from head hunting. I guess with enough missed halves the mindset will change.
No. He misses the second half of the current game and since it happened in the first half he gets to play the entire next game. If he had been ejected in the second half then he misses the first half of the following game.
That's what I mean. You are ejected from the game and you miss the next available half your team plays, no matter when that is. I can't seem to explain this clearly.
That used to be a normal tackle. I guess sooner later "two hand touch" will be the only acceptable way to play defense.
You guys are delusional. Here is the rule that has been in place since 2013 according to the NCAA in the link I posted.
(copy/paste):
If the foul occurs in the first half of a game, the player is ejected for the remainder of the game. If the foul occurs in the second half or overtime of a game, the player is ejected for the remainder of the game and the first half of the next contest.

Your still essentially saying the same exact thing. It's not that hard to understand
Lol. Exactly what I've been saying
You can take a horse to water but you can't make him drink,you can tell some people something but can't make them understand
Helmets didn't used to have facemasks. We've gotten smarter. Well, some of us. I don't have to see a kid carted off with his head strapped to a gurney to enjoy the game. There's a difference between tackling and trying to put a defenseless player in a coma. I'm guessing you never played the game or had a kid you cared about play the game. It's easy to sit in a recliner and talk about how the game is for sissies nowadays.
LOL, I figured that if they can change the rule on intentional grounding to favor Bama, why not this one?
But the best is yet to come, as there is too much money riding on Bama getting in the playoff, so GA better get ready. It wouldn't surprise me if the officials aren't already studying GA game film to see which OL would be easiest to call holding, a hand to the face of a DL, or pass interference for touching a receiver.
$EC! $EC! $EC!
They usually let them play a bit more in the SEC Championship game.
Lots of butthurt in this thread. Mean ole Alabammer.
Seems like you finally get it and not gonna argue it anymore. That's progress!
