Social Media reactions to targeting calls against Texas A&M

Texas A&M has kicked off its primetime all-important matchup with the 13th-ranked Miami Hurricanes, and the Aggies lead the Hurricanes 10-3 at halftime after what has been a defensive battle so far, with running back LJ Johnson busting through the goal line to score the only touchdown of the game  as it stands.

Sadly, controversy has already reared its ugly head for the Aggies after two targeting calls have expelled starting strong safety Demani Richardson and starting cornerback Brian George.

Both calls, from my perspective at least, were questionable after review, although Brian George lowered the crown of his helmet in a much clearer view, while Demani’s hit heard around the world was more of a question mark from a targeting sense.

As this close game unfolds, here are the top reactions to Demani Richardson and Brian George’s suspensions due to targeting:
