I was watching an NCAAF matchup between San Diego State and Boise State, and was thinking I wouldn’t last one play. I’d probably be seriously injured or killed if I got hit one time by any defensive player. It’s vicious, it’s one high-speed collision after another.
The SDS QB left the game after a helmet-to-helmet hit that wasn’t called. Not sure what the refs were looking at. I could see the head jolt as plain as day. Apparently, it wasn’t flagrant enough, or the camera angle was inconclusive, not enough to send the defensive player to an early shower—even though he’s probably thinking he got away with one and the quarterback never returned to the game.
There’s a very fine line between unavoidable and intentional. The refs have their hands full.
