Tim Tebow: Illegal hit?
 
Was that violent hit on Tim Tebow illegal?

Did the defender lead with his helmet?

I didn't see it. Do you have a video clip?

YouTube - Tim Tebow knocked out Vs Kentucky

looked ok to me

looked good. Led with his shoulder square in Tebow's chest.

JasonTX Sun Sep 27, 2009 04:48pm
I don't think the hit was the cause of the concussion. You can see in the video the sudden jerk of his head after it hits hit teammate knee.

One heckuva good, legal hit.

Looks legal.

Do you reckon the LT (#71) will get some consultation from the coach?

They're probably having a quiet conversation over coffee this very morning. ;)

My first instinct when I saw the play on TV was something didn't look right. But when they showed a slow replay, all I could say was what a nasty legal shot. My buddies (non-officials) looked at me like I was crazy. I said, he was leading with his shoulder. They still couldn't believe me. I had to buy the next round to get them off my case.

I just looked at the replay on youtube and it looks very much like the defender led with his helmet, which hit Tebow's facemask, before his shoulder ever made contact.
anybody else see it that way?

It looks bad to me

He did duck his head but he also moved it to the side, therefor leading with his shoulder. Textbook tackle.

If you call that play a penalty, there are at least 50 such tackles in every game.
