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

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

bah! He was protecting himself!

That's crazy. Absolutely looked intentional.

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.
