Are legal except with forcible contact. 15 yard penalty plus AFD. Could have Blind-Side Block with Targeting.

Targeting No change to what determines targeting. Rule 9-1-3 & 9-1-4 Basically have 2 “levels” of targeting in UIL games. Flagrant – 15 yards; AFD; Player DQ Non-flagrant – 15 yards: AFD; Counts as 1st toward DQ (2 = DQ) Flagrant Targeting – No doubt there was targeting & action that could cause catastrophic injury to either player. 1 non-flagrant targeting + 1 UNS ≠ DQ
