Which call?  The OPI? It was a bit tricky tacky, and there was grabbing both ways, but the receiver got a clear advantage from the exchange.  Easy to see why it was called, even if a non-call would have been defensible.

The targeting call was also tough, but he led with his crown, and the announcers were clear that the rule doesn’t say you have to make helmet-to-helmet contact.  I don’t have an issue with the rule since lowering the helmet and striking with your crown is dangerous, and players need to be taught not to do it, or the players and teams will face the consequences.  But it was a devastating blow for a Clemson defense that was already having trouble with the LSU offense.
