Actually, tacklers helment went on the front of qb’s rib cage and left shoulder pad hit him on the right rib cage. A hard tackle for sure but a legal one. Football is rough game. Injuries are a part of the game. Get over it or get out.

Watch that again. The nearly-exclusive contact was with the top of the helmet, which the OSU player ended up wrapped around. The left shoulder pad made no contact whatso-ever. The right shoulder pad may have flopped forward, but any contact is incidental.

The video clearly shows that, even if the author of the article doesn’t understand the rules either in asking the question he did.

This wasn’t a close call.

You’re right. It wasn’t a close call. It was a bad call. Should have been a no call.
