WATCH: UCF linebacker ejected on borderline targeting call
Published:
Another week, another questionable targeting call.
Michigan doesn’t need any extra help from the officials to take care of UCF, but it might’ve got some on this play.
UCF linebacker Demeitre Brim appeared to lead with his shoulder on this hit on Michigan receiver Eddie McDoom:
Michigan always seemed to be snake-bitten by targeting calls last year, so you likely won’t hear many Wolverines fans feeling bad about the ejection.
But after an inconsistent enforcement of the rule in Week 1, it doesn’t appear the officials have completely figured out how to call the controversial play.
