Just a quick ncaa rule check- anything above the face mask is considered the “crown”. And defenseless is someone who, oddly enough, has no ability to protect themselves from the defender. Targeting also doesn’t have to be helmet2helmet but anything above the shoulder.

I don’t think he was defenseless. Very close but I think he had ability to turn at the last second. But targeting by rule IMO should have been called. Definite “crown” Contact above the shoulder.
