Boston College and Pittsburgh are playing on ESPN Thursday night, and if you've ever wondered what an obvious targeting call looks like, BC defensive back Khari Johnson is here to be helpful.

That's just dirty as hell. He literally planted both feet and dove helmet first into an opponent's head. There's no world in which that's OK. Frankly, Johnson should face a longer suspension than the normal targeting penalty. The ACC should look at this and suspended him for a few games.
