Default 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!

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.

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.

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!

2 things make me think this is intentional. The extension of the hips into him, and the stare down afterwards!

Maybe SC should hire him as a linebacker coach.

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!!

Looks like he meant to hit him. He could have gotten away from the play if he wanted to.

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. 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. It looked intentional to me, but the coaches are cool with it.
