Photo after punt block

Maybe. Maybe not. I thought it might have been cheap live, but then watched the replays. The punter was not running 2 yards deep in the end zone but was right along the goal line. I thought he hit him in the upper chest not head. It was more a whip lash reaction than from a direct hit. He was just laid out.

I just saw the one replay and thot it was helmet to helmet. Regardless, GO layed the wood to that guy. No way it was a cheap shot, he was pursuing the ball straight at the "blocker" (grim reaper). LOL. lol:

It really looked like targeting when I saw it live. Not saying I agree with the new rules or anything, just saying what it looked like happened.

I thot so too. But, the refs were preoccupied with the rest of the play probably. Ouch, talk about insult to injury.

I guess the UGA coaches will have no prob getting him to speed up his kicks this week in practice! They chewesd him out after the first near miss on the sidelines. That is if he's on the practice field and not eating his lunch through a straw somewhere.

From the Recruiting Forum, here's a link to the end of the punt block return:

Borderline hit maybe - the play was definitely still live, though. It sort of looks like the punter might have continued and taken a shot at the punt block returner if he hadn't gotten blocked by our guy. I hate that the punter ended up with a concussion, though.

The crowd was into this game the whole time but when Georgia missed the field goal it got rowdy. It gave me chills hadn't heard it like that in a while. Then the punt got blocked and Neyland went into another gear the atmosphere was electric. I got an adrenaline rush like I used to on Friday nights when I used to run out on our football field or after I made a big play. I wanted to be down on that field jumping, smacking people in the helmets, and getting amped with the rest of 117. The blocked punt for a touchdown was AWESOME!!!
