[SmokeyLives]

Nico gave his all v osu. Dang.....

At first glance, this appears to be the same manufacturer of Mahome's cracked helmet last year during -4 degree playoff game vs. the Dolphins.

I believe that was mentioned by someone on the TV or radio broadcast, too. Good eye.

Plastic composite gets very brittle at 15 degrees. All the MORE reason not to play these Playoffs in that weather. Asinine. UT Officials should be in somebody's ear. LOUDLY. That breakdown could result in permanent injury. Not to mention the human body is more susceptible to injury in that environment. Asinine.

Our offensive line didn't do Nico any favors either.

Agree 1000%. WHERE WAS THE TARGETING CALL ON THAT PLAY???

They were head hunting and trying to hurt.

 

[Allvols98]

Targeting?

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Should’ve been targeting on that first one. It was helmet to helmet contact. Nico played his butt off against Ohio State, but unfortunately, didn’t get much help from anybody else. I could absolutely see the cold weather having an effect on the helmet.

Where it should have been.

 

[Volador]

As long as Nico's brain isn't scrambled eggs, than the helmet worked, right??

If I made 6k every day of my life I'd crack plastic with my face once a year too

It was Targeting. He cracked Nico's helment. No call

lol. Guess we should do away with tackling overall as well?

Wow, what an outcry for playing a sport with a rich rich history in extreme cold and elements. This reminds me of these college kids who go on massive rants against anything and everything when their ignorance is not affirmed.

 

[Orangepantsforever]

What’s the deal with the helmets? They honestly don’t look very durable. That hit was solid, but should never break a helmet. Are they designed to break, to lessen the blow??

 

[OrangeEtBlanc]

I think they are probably designed to better absorb the impact and disperse the force through the helmet, thus making them more susceptible to cracking.

Yep, Vicis

Targeting wasn't even mentioned on the broadcast. Guess you have to lay out on the ground unconscious for them to call it any more.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Same thing happened to one of my 3D printer crowns right after the warranty expired. I sitck with noble metals now.

Dude has proven himself as a warrior to this old fan. Might not be the second coming of Peyton Manning, but if the kid will give himself up for his team, that's good enough for me.

 

[wmcovol]

was Ohio state playing with illegal helmets to cause this?

Did you petition the nfl and ncaa yet to ask for no more cold weather during ball games?

 

[PowerWookie]

Dang

Ahh I’m guessing it’s something to do with the materials reacting to the cold temps. Something is causing the materials to become more brittle in lower temps.
