Any player in the act of catching a pass is deemed defenseless.

so now he was flying?



jk jk

Looked like left shoulder to me.

So where was contact initiated above the shoulder on CJ's hit?

I don't think the hit on TT was illegal IMO. According to NCAA I guess it is but it's part of the game. Just let them play. It's a violent game and violent hits occur. Let them play. You can't protect every body from every thing.

Once again. It does not matter if CJ used his helmet

What part of "he did not lead with his helmet" do you not understand? CJ lead with his shoulder, hit the receiver in the shoulder and it was a violent collision. Please look at all the replays and you will see, if you want to see. Otherwise keep beating a dead mule but it was a poor called made late because the Arky receivers helment came off from the collision and he was suddenly going the other direction.

If you take away the ability of the defensive player to jar the TD pass loose with a hard hit, you fundamentally change the game. You might as well take away their pads and cleats and give them ballet shoes.

Jeez, how about hitting somewhere below the head? What a complex solution!
