I was at the game and I, along with others in my section thought he was dead. It was a legal hit at the time but was very brutal

It was. That hit was referenced in every discussion about the targeting penalty being added. It probably wouldn't have been a penalty if not for that hit.

Reggie Brown was knocked out on his feet. There's a reason why targeting was created, and that reason is nobody running college football wanted to see a hit like that in a football game ever again.
