There've been worse hits before, but I've never seen someone cause a seizure, celebrate it, then laugh on the sidelines. #8 better make a public apology and should be banned from cfb.
I think it was....2011 Arkansas(?) that did something similiar to a Punt Returner, and Petrino of all people suspended him indefinitely. Can't wait to see if LR has less guts than the Gutless Bastard himself
I remember what you taking about. A fair catch was called, and he lit him up anyway then celebrated like he did something special. Im happy to say I dont know what became of him because he never played another down for the Razorbacks.
That guy (Marquel Wade) did catch an indefinite suspension, but not from Petrino, and not for that dirty hit. He got a one-game suspension from the SEC. But the following year, John Smith indef'ed him after he was arrested for burglarizing dorm rooms.
Clearly an upstanding citizen.
In a fairer world, that would have ended his sports career. But he actually got signed to the Nebraska Danger in the Indoor Football League in 2016, the Jacksonville Sharks in the National Arena League in 2017, and then back to the IFL in 2018 with Iowa Barnstormers for an All-IFL first-team season.
If there's a moral lesson here, it's escaping me at the moment.
The roles aren't reversed though, so let's see what LR does in reality where his player and team celebrated seriously injuring a player bad enough to require an ambulance.
