Greatest hit in SEC football in the 21st century (cheap shots excluded)

Again I want to emphasize cheap shots excluded, even if they were legal.
I’m talking a defensive player (few exceptions for offensive as you’ll see) making a legal, formed hit that just stands the hairs on your neck up
I’ve got two obvious ones for defense right off the top of my head. Patrick Willis against LSU. We got crushed, but my god this tackle was beautiful
LINK
And then of course there is this. Clowney clowning Michigan. I’d give the clear nod to Clowney if he wasn’t such a gigantic freak of a human being.
The hit heard around the world
And then on the offensive side there’s Fournette destroying this poor aggy (he did something similar against a poor rebel)

Feel free to post some more or discuss the ones above. Trying to make this a light hearted discussion appreciating the violence of football when done properly.

Problem is that what was considered a "great clean hit" for the past 100 years of football is now considered a cheap shot.

By far and away the best hit I've ever seen, cheap shot or not.

I agree with you so just use good judgement.
Prime example of a cheap shot is a QB throwing a pick and then getting blind side destroyed. They didn’t call a penalty on that until just a few years ago, but it’s still a cheap shot.

Major Wright Hit
I remember watching this game. Not even 2 minutes in and he set the tone.
Maybe not the greatest, but one I distinctly remember

Cootie Harrow blowing up the AU kid on a KO. He straight murdered that AU player.

Dial on Murray, 2012 SEC championship game following an INT:
No flag, so clearly the hit/block was clean.

Eric Berry delivered a mean hit on Marquis Maze that made him do a complete 360 in the air during the 2008 Alabama-Tennessee game.

Don’t be a douche
That is the exact thing I was trying to avoid
Denzel Nkimdiche did the same thing to Cooper Bateman in 2015

Here's one that fails two of your requirements (it was in 1990 and it would absolutely be illegal today). Still, my neck (and head, back, shoulder, etc...) hurt everytime I see it.
This was Zack Dumas of Ohio State hitting Stacy Danley in the Hall of Fame Bowl.

Do offensive hits count?

Great Scott!
Today that would leave officials throwing flags but being unable to articulate why

This is nowhere near what the title is asking for, but since Clowney was already posted I wanted to give a shoutout to DJ Swearinger
frick clemson. That’s all.
