Said Georgia player unhooked chinstrap and pulled off his helmet off in the pile


I'm not reading this whole thread, but it seems like this would be pretty easy to confirm or disprove. Was there even an instance where Franklin lost his helmet during a pile up? There is almost always a camera on the QB so we should at least be able to confirm that this allegation is remotely possible.

Here's Franklin's & Pinkel's quotes...
quote:

On the first, Franklin said his shoulder pads got popped up over his head and knocked his helmet off. The second time, he felt a player grab his chinstrap and rip it off and yank the helmet off, too. “I’m sure our players didn’t take it off,” Gary Pinkel said. “And I’m sure he didn’t take it off. It just happened. … Every single time his chinstrap was snapped off. It didn’t just slide off. So, I don’t know what to say.”


Here’s the game tape, 1st lost helmet at 12:40…the 2nd at 2:28:40, I think the video evidence refutes Mr. Franklin’s claim, he just got his shite rocked by Jenkins & Jones…
