The amount of people making claims like this is ridiculous. Reverse the rolls and we don't hear a peep. The hit on Travis Hunter was late but there have been WAAAYYY more egregious late hits in the game that no one bats an eye towards. You have a rivalry game between two schools who have both been in the dumps and are both finally playing good football. One is being touted as America's Team for some unknown reason. The other, no one even knows exists. Norvell was dumb to make the hat and glasses comments but if I totally understand CSU players having a chip on their shoulder. Doesn't help that coaches son, the Rolex flashing next Tom Brady, was caught poking the eyes out of a defender and most people brush it off or joke about it.  

 

This hit by Major Wright was touted as a tone setter. It was early, he wasn't going for the ball and he absolutely de-cleats the WR. 

Video?

Could’ve done that before Sundays game. Means comes off right around the deadline.

I stayed up and watched that game... probably one of the dirtiest games I've seen in a long time. Personal foul penalties left and right. Travis Hunter almost got killed on one. I was entertained though.

Captain insaneo shows no mercy 

If he gets to six is it a pick 6

Yeah, I've never seen one like that. I'm sure someone just handed it to Johnson, so I doubt even if I DM him like Matt suggested he'd know. 

Which Johnson was he?  Lane?

Some of us are coming to the realization that sometimes being a freakbeast alone isn't enough to be a great player.  Not me, but the more sensible posters.

I guess we learned nothing from the "Jordan Davis is a bust" narrative from last year.

I’m no insider and have no idea if this was already out there, but I spoke to someone close to QB coach Alex Tanney and he apparently wanted to join Steichen in Indy, but the Eagles wouldn’t let him out of his contract.

I think the hit on Travis Hunter is being blown way out of proportion. The guys family is getting death threats. People posted all his family's cell phone numbers.

Makes sense. Alex would have been the OC (likely).

He was comped to Reddick.  He should be just as good as Reddick.  Now.

Wouldn't it be 'poke' six?

It's not a matter of burying so much as attempting to temper expectations.
