Typical FSU fashion. Looks terrible first half, then dominate the second. My team has personal experience with them on this matter.

"FSU has trailed at halftime of a regular season game 6 times since 2013. The Seminoles have won all 6, including 2 wins when trailing by 13+"

No idea. I think it is clearly targeting. Shitty rule and it should be legal (would be in the NFL) but that hit falls under the rule in my opinion.

Can you remind me what targeting is? Cause that looks like a clean hit from that angle. The receiver clearly hadn't finished catching the ball, otherwise it would have been a TD, and the guy led with his shoulder pads, not the crown of his helmet. Both feet were on the ground so I don't see him being called a defenseless receiver. The only thing he could have done better from a technical standpoint was go a little lower so his helmet / shoulder pad would hit the ball. But the ball popped out anyway, so he hit low enough.
It's a rough sport. Sometimes people get knocked the fuck out. There must be something stupid and specific about the targeting penalty if that was targeting.

Holy shit, I just looked at the rest of the cougars schedule. So basically they're ending the year ranked top 2 or 3, or they lose one of those games and drop out of the rankings altogether. I'm not even sure all of these teams are division 1.

Yeah, he lead with his helmet. The first thing to hit his opponent was his helmet. And it hit the other players helmet.

Is that the definition? I don't know, judging from that angle, it looks like it was hand, shoulder pad, then helmet that hit. And there was probably an elbow hitting too on the other side before the helmet. I can't find a copy of that that's slowed down, but I did find this still which shows his shoulder and arm making contact and his head not making contact yet. It looks like the guy angled his body at the end to lead with the shoulder pad instead of the helmet. However, the shoulder pad is making contact with the receiver's helmet, so if targeting is just defined as making initial contact with the opponents helmet then this would fit.

Yeah, I didn't even see the ND player duck down. IMO, I think the way he turned before contact showed he was trying to do it right, and that seems a lot like an 'intent' rule. His intent here was obviously to knock the ball loose, not to hurt someone. It's possible the first contact was shoulder to shoulder, and that might be a technicality that made them not call it. All I know is that according to the announcers, targeting can be assessed by the replay booth and the replay booth had plenty of time to review it while they were tending to him on the field.
