USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
Check this out guys...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXgrp...eature=related Any thoughts ideas, or opinions? The SEC released a statement saying the ref was in a correct position. I mean he was in the right position, to make a tackle! |
Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
Way to lower the shoulder! Nice form. :mad:

Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
I don't think it was intentional.. a lot going on out there on the field with 20+ guys running all around you. The head coach of SC even commented that he doesn't think it was on purpose.

Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
Definitely looks intentional to me. He stepped into the play and moved forward towards the player and dropped his shoulder before he hit the guy. I know who was betting on LSU.

Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
Looked 100% intentional to me.

Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
Saw something like this a couple of years ago at high school game. The ref was looking down the line of scrimmage and didn't see the running back coming at him until just before the collision. He couldn't do anything but duck and he still got bowled over.
Not saying that's what happened here but if all you South Carolina fans don't want to think it could happen then...... WAAAH! WAAAH! WAAAH! |
Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
2 things make me think this is intentional. The extension of the hips into him, and the stare down afterwards!
|
Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
I remember seeing that live. That was awesome!:cool2:
|
Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
Maybe SC should hire him as a linebacker coach.
|
Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
For once the refs didn't screw us! :fu
|
Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
I was at the game and even from the upper deck it looked like he leveled him on purpose. It was really one of the best hits of the night!!:r
|
Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
that was intentional
|
Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
its hard to not think it was at least partially intentional. I mean he seems to lunge into the guy. I dunno....definitely strange
|
Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
Looks like he meant to hit him. He could have gotten away from the play if he wanted to.:confused:
|
Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
bah! He was protecting himself! :ze:)
|
Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
That's crazy. Absolutely looked intentional.
|
Re: USC Vs. LSU and Ref!
I was listening to a sports talk show today and of course everyone was cracking up over the hit he put on the player. What I found was interesting though was the discussion that the ref was a former player (and believe they indicated a former linebacker, as well).....which might his hit more instinctive than anything else.
Either way...it's still hillarious! |

I saw something on Sports Center about this and both of the coaches were making light of it in post-game press conference. One of them said that he's always taught his players to wrap up the other player when tackling. :r They said it's just part of the game. ESPN even did a slo-mo analysis and illustrated that the ref tried to go into the gap between the two tacklers and the QB, but couldn't get away so he protected himself by lowering his shoulder. :ze It looked intentional to me, but the coaches are cool with it.
