I have only seen the clip on ESPN web site. The coach is looking at his own player who is standing at a 45 degree angle from the coach. The coach has his right hand on the player's shoulder while congratulating the player. He goes to square up to the player when his left forearm contacts the Air Force player's facemask on the way to his player's left shoulder area. It does not look intentional to me. He should not have been on the field, period. Is there another angle other than the ESPN clip?

TXMike, I wouldn't expect the Denver Post writer to be objective on this matter.

I am neither a Northwestern fan nor an Air Force hater. I justed posted my opinion.

The clip on the web site is not as fluid as the actual video clip. I saw the actual video clip and it is clear to me it was deliberate. I will admit that when I saw the clip on the web I did not think so. I am sure now.
