I am not an expert in the rules of college football, that said...

First, the the play broken-up in the endzone, the second Texas defender's shoulder seemed to make initial contact with the ND player's head. Isn't that targeting or at least roughing? It contact looked like hit from the first defender and then the ball drew the receiver's head down; but, I know the rule are more protective in college than the NFL.

Second, on the blocked field goal, on replay the Texas player who blocked it used one arm to block the ball while his second was on a teammate's shoulder effectively giving him a boost up. Isn't that illegal, also?

Led with shoulder from my vantage point. Also didn't launch himself. Just a good hit.

That's not big stones, that's just good play calling, the RB sold the play and the WR burned the safety.

It was the right time to call a big play, ND was playing Texas tight off the ball. Good call. I'm enjoying Texas whooping on ND
It's 'stones' to call an aggressive game with a freshman QB, IMHO. It's having enough confidence in your players to let them make plays.

I thought he left his feet and put a shoulder on Hunter's helmet.. Maybe could've called it from the field, would've been hard to call from the booth. It was a beautiful throw on that play though.

These guys recruit the top talent, the expectation is that they can handle the pressure.

It's not stones

Don't take it personal
not at all. just amused that you'd declare a subjective opinion to be factually incorrect because it disagrees with your subjective opinion. if you want to be the ultimate judge of stones though, feel free.
