If the Hunter hit is bad enough to get a kid suspended, then somebody betta put Junior Rosegreen in jail

Yes that's targeting today, no doubt, but back then it was just "football."

Ah the good ole days. When "just football" led to brain damage and suicide. Such nostalgia.

In those days you couldn't really run the slant or skinny post into a safety like that unless you got the ball off QUICK or it was known as "throwing your receiver into a blender" and your receiver is going to short arm the ball because he knows a hit is coming.
If CFB wants to start ejecting players for late hits that result in an injury I'm good with that but neither the player who was hit nor the player who did the hitting should be allowed to return to the game. There's no rule on the books right now so no way should the kid get suspended.
As for the hunter hit it was odd... not a super hard hit - seemed to just catch him in a weird way. Hunter was tied up with the CB so ended up taking it really vertically and wasn't expecting to be hit. I don't think the safety was "trying" to hurt Hunter but he had probably been told all week "we're going to out tough and out physical" these guys. You see equivalent hits every other game, esp rivalry games.
