Hardest Hit

[orangebloodgmc]

I saw the on very similar at CAL - I thought they had snapped him in half.

I saw that against Cal; shoulda been a spearing penalty.

Gotta go with Leonard Little on Freddie Kitchens and Andre Creamer against (I forgot) in 1985.

NCAA 2013 Hardest Football Hits (HD) - YouTube

Gerald Williams was smashing Tebow from the backside actually giving him a fair amount of extra momentum when he and Berry hit. And Berry still withstood it. Had Tebow not had Williams' added momentum, EB would have buried Tebow..probably would have did him worse than the dude from UK did.

Yeah, no...not even close. The kid from UK got a free release on Tebow standing straight up in the pocket.

Berry and Tebow were two freight trains in a head-on collision, and it was epic.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

One of my favorites of all time. They both saw each other coming. Big boy football.

IIRC the UF helmet was broke on that hit.

Manuel didn't know what hit him. Lewis was a beast.

In hindsight I'm glad that play worked...it gave UT's coaching staff confidence to run it again on 4th and 3 later on.

 

[RichRollin]

Yeah, no...not even close. The kid from UK got a free release on Tebow standing straight up in the pocket.

Berry and Tebow's collision was two freight trains in a head-on collision, and it was epic.

I think you and I both know I was being a bit facetious in my comment. But can't a guy come on a Vol site and throw a cheap shot at Tebow these days? What's this world coming to?

My sarcasm meter must be a little off today.

The Tebow-Berry collision is my all-time favorite, because as time passes, the debate over who won and who lost just keeps going.

People try to break it down frame by frame...like it's the Zapruder film of CFB collisions.

Biggest Football Hit of All Time - Zack Dumas - YouTube

Growing up one of my friends was an Ohio State fan and he showed me this hit. Was a pretty good one for a buckeye.

 

[StoVol]

Leaverton blowing up Peter Warrick .. A very unlikely and epic collision. Was so awesome. But the westmoreland hit, after watching UT football for 31 years, just jumps to mind first thing when talking about hurting a sob.

 

[BeecherVol]

Manuel didn't know what hit him. Lewis was a beast.

In hindsight I'm glad that play worked...it gave UT's coaching staff confidence to run it again on 4th and 3 later on.

Yeah, he got jacked up. Those type plays are awesome when both players see it coming. (ala Berry/Tebow)

I remember being pissed right after the fact. After thinking about it, considering Lewis and UTs OL, I wasnt as pissed about the call. UF guessed right and stopped UTs best player.

 

[MontereyVol]

Bill Duff for a goal line stand against Eddie George in the Citrus Bowl.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Jacques Smith absolutely crushing Caleb King a couple years back pops to mind. If anyone can find the link, I'd be appreciative (I'm mobile or I would).

 

[VolsnRavens]

I couldn't find it on youtube but does anyone remember when we were playing Auburn and Cam Newton threw an interception and was just standing there like a mannequin and a Tennessee player just freakin leveled him? Man. I rewound that like 10 times. That was awesome.

 

[WoodstockVol]

Tennessee put one hell of a hit on Georgia receiver Brice Hunter in 1998. I think Westmoreland hit Him.

 

[Bms4880]

Dennis rogan against UCLA QB is worth honorable mention.

If you go by damage inflicted, that hit would rank higher than honorable mention, considering the QB's jaw was broken and had to be wired shut for three weeks.

 

[0StarGeneral]

You think these hits are hard wait til you see the roar of the voles hitting our opponents in the game time series this year

GO VOLS..
GO BIG ORANGE .... :rock:

 

[orangetd88]

Eddie Moore's hit on Kelvin Kight was awesome.

 

[orangetd88]

Yeah, he got jacked up. Those type plays are awesome when both players see it coming. (ala Berry/Tebow)

I remember being pissed right after the fact. After thinking about it, considering Lewis and UTs OL, I wasnt as pissed about the call. UF guessed right and stopped UTs best player.

It was a bad call. UF was loaded up on that side and Tee checked off to it anyway.

Oh well, we were screwed that night anyway. Doug Johnson dropped back like 25 yards and then threw the ball straight into the ground while being pressured with no flag.

tebow vs berry - YouTube

that was a good one

Berry hit on Moreno (short version) - YouTube

this one is fun to remember too

That hit on Moreno was a memorable one. 20+ people watching that game in a room and it made everyone stand up

 

[volmaniac5674]

Reggie White tackling the RB in the backfield in the '83 LSU game. White blindsided him from the front.

This was the hit I was thinking of also. I want to say the running back was Dalton Hilliard but I'm not sure.

The hit is at the 2:37 mark of this video.

 

[Big Sal Stuntin 7]

I hate that they called a flag on that play. It looked clean to me.

Only thing I could think they would call a flag is for LAUNCHING like they called on Janzen Jackson in the Music City Bowl.

You can't blame the refs...it wasn't uncommon for Doug Johnson to throw erratic passes when he wasn't being pressured.
