WHO CARES! WHO CARES!

Would this play even exist in today's rules? I'm thinking DJ probably would have been sent to the sidelines following that hit, maybe to return later after being over-ruled. But still wouldn't have been on the field for the INT.

Read this title and figured it would be about the Soccer World Cup.

This was during the most recent rule update but it is an edited video and he could have been kick out of the game. The call was that the hit was basically too vicious but they ruled that the hit was clean after review and that is why he was allowed to stay in the game (which would have resulted in his ejection from the game otherwise and the yardage assessed) but the penalty for yardage was still marched off.

It is indeed the stupidest rule ever by the NCAA. You can make a clean hit and still have it cost you yardage. So, in summary, he was guilty of a great hit and it cost us 15 yards. I am a big proponent of player safety but that rule is idiotic. They fear picking up that flag because of the fear of the accusation that the NCAA is soft on "spearing". Stupid rule.

That's not a rule, the referee called it "initiating contact above the shoulders," it wasn't over-turned, but a terrible call, and based on the rule instated in 2013, he would've been ejected.

The ejection rule wasn't implemented until 2013. This game was in 2012.

Reviews came after games, like the UAB game where he was suspended afterwards.

I love Spurrier's wit as much as his winning. Most entertaining coach in football. Better when he's your coach.
