He did not hit with the crown of his head and he did not lower his head. He was practically vertical when he tackled the quarterback. I think the call was simply because the quarterback was hit in the neck/head area but I did not like the call. It was not targeting, certainly not intentional and should not have ejected him from the game.
Don't sleep on the GT team! They've got me really jazzed up.
I think the Gotsis face to face call was Ga Southern that year? It was early and at home I remember.
Could be. I can't remember but it was critical in whatever game it was.
I was also at that game and when he scored, I told my daughter that touchdown just lost us the game. I was kidding, but it turned out to be prophetic.
Sustaining drives is one thing, finishing with a TD is another.
Moved down initially, then back up. I'm thinking the smart money is on Tech. Should be a close one.
Smart money will come late and heavy, at least that’s what usually happens. Keep an eye on late movements.
I like our chances.
It was not Southern. It was a game we lost and his ejection was the turning point.
It was UNC.
Ut was UNC and it changed the game.
OUCH! Looks legal to me.
And this picture makes it look worse than it was. If I remember right, Gotsis basically super hugged the QB and his momentum knocked the QB over. No launching, no hits with the crown. Awful call.
I my memory has it much more violent than that. I thought the refs threw the flag more because they felt bad for the guy. I know he put his face mask on his chest and the top of his helmet hit the face ask if the qb. I think that was the justification.
