No, correct call. Call it a terrible rule if you want, you can't leave your feet and hit a "defenseless" player above the shoulders with your helmet. The problem I have with the rule is that it says "targeting". As if any of these players are intentionally trying to take an opponents head off. It's an insult to the players who get called for these penalties, as if they are dirty or something. It's nonsense.


he hit the qb with his shoulder. i'd have to see it again but it didn't look like he left his feet either -- seemed like a solid hit.

Dumb rule, but a ref's job is to enforce the rules.

Just atrocious - sad that the refs are calling it just because it is on the books. No intent

I must not understand this rule. He hit him with his shoulder he did not hit him in the helmet. Where's the penalty. Where's the objection?


defense is banned in modern football

looked like his shoulder pad hit the QB's shoulder pad, but i guess ref thought mccain hit QB's head/helmet.

correct call my fuking ass, quack and doggy fans.

cannot believe mccain was ejected there. that is just bizarre.hit him in the chest.


The ref reacted to the fact that the Northwestern QB took a few moments to stand back up. McCain clearly hit the chest of the QB. Any contact from head to head was incidental when the QB's head moved forward in reaction to the initial impact.

That was not dirty in any way.

He shouldn't have taken the bows on the way out.

Next time just go for the knees. Who cares if it cripples a player; if you can't go for the upper body what other choice do you have?

When you find yourself agreeing with a Duck on this forum you know it is a complete BS call. If anything McCain's momentum carried him into the QB. Penalty... maybe, but ejection? No way!

That one was entirely on the receiver. You can't bat the ball up like that.

Err...it was clearly helmet to helmet and he left his feet. Was it dirty? No? I don't even think that hit should be a penalty, but come on. McCain clearly hit him in the face with his helmet after launching off his feet.


Bull

Technically McCain led with his helmet and did leave his feet. That being said, it's an absolute garbage rule. What if the QB ducks when the defensive player is going for the tackle and inadvertently gets hit in the head?

Clearly, in this instance, it was not a malicious play by McCain,

Another example of how interception and completion numbers can be deceiving.
