The worst helmet to helmet No-Call of the season that everybody missed...


Mar 12, 2019, 11:29 PM

In the National Championship right as Etienne is crossing the goal line on his first rushing touchdown. 14 Thompson for Alabama comes in with nothing but the crown of his helmet and earholes Travis.

You may recall their plan the year before was to knock him out of the game and they succeeded then.

Fast forward to at the 2:59 mark of this video:

"The one who thinks we can and the one who thinks we can't are both right! Which one are you, son? Which one are you, son?"


I'm glad they didn't call any targeting penalties

There was another one on a hit on TL that Chris Fowler mentioned during the broadcast. None were really bad in my opinion. I'm just glad nobody gave Bama the opportunity of losing players due to the penalty as an excuse for the butt kicking.

1. Saban is positively miserable. He's coaching for all the wrong reasons. There's no joy on the Bama sideline whatsoever.

2. I'm so glad I don't have to listen to Clemson radio broadcasts. I've heard high school announcers that are better than Munson. I'm sorry, but the guy has a voice that's the equivalent of talking into a tin pie pan. He's awful...Vitale-esque!

3. Dabo and Clemson are about to make the world forget about Bama's last decade. Let's do a Natty recount in 2030 and see where he and Saban rank.

Travis didn't go downon the hit , that was a big reason for the no call imo . I remember mentioning possible targeting on that play though , it was certainly that .

I hate to disagree, but he makes contact with his shoulder, not his helmet. If you watch it in slowmo Travis’s head never moves. It was a good no call. I think with that side camera angle it makes it look worse than it was.

I agree, looked like all shoulder to me on that play.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Looks more like he tried to target


Mar 13, 2019, 7:20 AM

but ETN was too quick.

Looks like all shoulder pad to me.

Seriously not even close to helmet to helmet: defender used his forearms as the initial strike point trying to bump ETN out before the goal line. Then his own helmet got a shot from ETNs shoulder pad.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He did take him out of the game. Because after the TD


Mar 13, 2019, 11:57 AM

ETN has to come out of the game for the PAT ;)

The worst helmet to helmet No-Call was on Renfrow


Mar 13, 2019, 12:01 PM

in The Cotton Bowl and against a defenseless player on top of it!

One play before Higgins's great catch.

At 1:25:25 of the video.
