It is funny, if this was done by a UK player, there would be an excuse from every person on this forum saying it is just football or something. I am not agreeing with what he did, but you can't end a young person's college career, or drastically hurt his team's chance at a national title just because of one mistake. Like someone else said, this could have been retaliation. When the story first broke, I thought I read that it had happened to him on the previous possession and he was retaliating, but who knows. It is football, dirty things happen. There are dirty players in every sport. I know he definitely shouldn't have done it, but it is football, only god knows what happens on the bottom of piles on a fumble recovery

This is no different than what the player from Oregon did at Boise State the first game of the season, look what happened to him. It doesn't matter if it was retaliation or not, he got caught. IDK about you but I was always taught and coached that the one who retaliates is always the one who gets caught.
