Once it’s tipped it’s no longer a pass.

ASU showed the blitz way too early. Sent the house and no one got close to the QB. Aggressive call, but it backfired.
Pretty sure its still targeting if Arizona State is on defense.
The crown thing doesn't matter in the case of a defenseless receiver. The exact text of the rule is:
(1) A player takes aim at an opponent for the purposes of attacking with forcible contact with the crown of the helmet.
or
(2) A player takes aim at a defenseless opponent for the purposes of attacking with forcible contact to the head or neck area.
(1) A player takes aim at an opponent for the purposes of attacking with forcible contact with the crown of the helmet.

I was also wondering that... but I don't think just because a ball was tipped means you can just lay out a defenseless receiver, right?
Should have never even come to that. ASU would have won in regulation if it hadn't been stolen from them
35 with a minute could have been two hand offs and a 50 yard kick which is NOT a chip shot.
And their special teams had an atrocious day.
On the first live view I didn't think it was crown, on the second two it's the crown. It's also helmet to helmet on defenseless receiver so I don't think it matters.
If it's not targeting then 90% of targeting calls I've seen should never have been call and Iowa State might even have had a few extra wins.
If the ball was tipped the dipsh*ts should have clarified that when announcing it wasn't a targeting call.
Because it’s football? Because me not watching a game won’t impact what is happening?

The Big 12 is showing out in the post season.
Even with the ASU loss they showed they belonged on the field with almighty Texas.
Like Kansas used to and ISU used to and KSU used to.....
The game was lost on the 4th and 13 in the first OT. An all out blitz is fine, but they showed it too soon. Ewers appeared to audible out of the play from scrimmage. Maybe I’m too use to Iowa State’s secondary, but I would rather have taken my chances dropping back and playing defense knowing they have to get 13 yards just to continue the game.
Maybe. Texas could have tackled them for a loss or ASU gets a penalty. We will never know.
Yeah, the rigged replay...it's replay, not live so it's rigged when they purposefully get it that wrong...cost them probably a 30% chance to win the game as bad as their FG kicking is.
Not nothing, but not a sure thing.
The same call was erased in ISU games. The crown is head down, this wasn’t the top of the head. It was the forehead just above the facemask. So crown would not be the call.
It was definitely tipped... but I don't think that means targeting a receiver and laying them out is then okay?
Not a fan of Oregon's unis. Don't mix the old school duck jerseys with the new school chrome helmets/wings. Not a good look.
It’s 100% correct. why PIs are not called. If it’s tipped it’s a live ball and a free for all.
