Nigel Bradham's Hit on Miami Receiver

Nigel gets the Burfict treatment, because he often hits people hard late, and is just a ferocious hitter.

Nigel hit the guy with his shoulder into the guy's chest, and had a foot on the ground. Wasn't helmet to helmet nor launching, pretty weak from the officials.

Stanford had another bogus PF hit go their way again tonight as well.

On that same note, there is this one black commentator, cant remember his name, but he calls a lot of Pac 10 games who slobs all over these late hits. He wants defenders penalized each hard hit, anytime someone gets close to a head. Regardless if the offensive player lowers his own head into the hit. It is just pathetic.

Looked clean. He hit with his shoulder, not helmet. This great game of football is being ruined by this bullshite. UT had an even worse call against them today

Roger Staubach said it a year ago. Football is becoming a wuss game.

I agree. It seems the refs will always throw a flag now if its a big hit regardless if its legal or not. That was a very clean hit IMO but since the WR got knocked out the refs end up punishing the defender for it.

Toss the QB for being a complete dumbass and setting his WR up to get destroyed!

1:26 and 1:56

Looked like a clean hit to me. No reason to even throw a flag.

the launching,

he didn't launch, though. he was on the ground

I've been noticing late hits/hits out of bounds calls being more and more questionable, too. If I'm a LB or DB and there is any doubt you're out of bounds, you're getting hit. It seems the refs don't quite understand this.

So what got him tossed

Receiver getting knocked the frick out + ref stupidity.

He didn't help his cause by arguing over the flag while the receiver was laying on the ground with what appeared to be a potentially serious injury.
