It's at least partially shoulder, on a moving player who is engaged with someone else. That's not a clear-cut targeting call.
Not rooting for Michigan, but that did seem like a clear “eh it’s the end of the game we’re not going to overturn this” type of call.
If that happens in the second quarter I suspect it’s called targeting.

Yeah. That looked like targeting but I can see why the ref is trying to figure out anyway to not call it targeting.
How about they, I don’t know, make a stop. They are the number 1 defense in the country.
It’s a semifinal, I’m sure all the CFP brass (Blandino, Shaw, etc.) gave their input on a call that important
And not fumble the ball from the 1 foot line, and not throw 2 pick 6s. And so on.
And while that could have been Targeting, Michigan certainly didn't do anything on that last drive to earn the chance to keep going
Aren’t all Texas Universities basically Christian? It’s kind of like calling it Texas College University.
TCU stopped them fair and square. Who wants to see Michigan be given new life because of a borderline hit after the play was (essentially) over?
Was just watch the OSU coach jumping around pregame and thought the same thing. I have tonight as like 40-20.
This. They were without a pulse and didn't deserve to be revived. TCU won that game fair and square.
100%
Michigan could have and should have easily won that game. Their defensive play calling was also kind of baffling. Lots of blitzes leaving people 1 on 1 that shouldn’t be in that position.
Ok, but other than the situation what is the argument for calling no targeting on review? Replay not clear enough to overturn? The angles all looked good. Plus, targeting seems like a penalty where they have less deference for calls on the field than other judgment calls.
So I only half saw it, but from what I saw it looked like there was a clear indicator. So just need the shot confirming the force of the contact was from the top of the helmet (not side). I’ll try to find a video.
Personally I couldn't tell whether he made contact with the head/neck area or with the shoulder.
