Hey buddy, I'm the judge of hugs around here...

All you who have succumbed to the new marshmallowized version of football and think this hit was worth a penalty i implore you to consider a few things:

Abrams is about 6foot 210lbs. Hes absolutely FLYING in this play. The opponent is also moving. Tell me how hes supposed to control where he hits the guy? Have you ever come close to running that fast? Do you have any concept of running with a helmet on? Theres no way abrams can control this. So whats your powderpuff answer? Slow down? So running fast is no longer allowed? Maybe the player should have stopped and allowed abrams to make the hit cleanly. Maybe we should just use a series of flags. The guy running raises a flag before hes going to make a hit. Runner stops for 3 secs allowing hit to be controlled.
Whats folks are suggesting is a dirty hit is nothing more than a very athletic move. If you're so worried about concussions then stop weightroom workouts. Then guys wont be as strong or in shape enough to run that fast.

Agree, except he should have had his head up looking at what he hit. At least that is the way that they taught it in the dark ages: "Always see what you hit!"

If the return player had been a State player would the comments be that at least the hitter wasn't a *****. I think not. Perspective is everything. That one play could have changed the lives of both players if things had gone horribly wrong. Not cool and definitely not worth it.

Watching replay and just notice that Abrams made every Kick off tackle. That dude was physical on everyone of them.

I like Abrams!

If that hit is one foot lower it wold have been legal and one hell of a hit with high fives.
