What? The quarterback was still fighting for yardage and our guy did not lead with the helmet. Perfectly legal hit. Whipple’s the one who put his concussed QB back out there. Perhaps he should point the finger at himself.

He was the dumbass that put a concussed player back in and the hit was clean. Shoulder pad to helmet

AND he had him running the ball as well when they had a good RB.

I think Whipple was pissed about the hits on his QB & Mullen was pissed about #57 trying to twist Greens leg off. At the end of the game they seemed to be ok.

They talked after the game longer than I've ever seen 2 coaches talk. But you're right, they seemed ok. Kinda weird.

They’re old friends from when they both coached in the Ivy League.

I wasn’t able to watch or listen but am I understanding it that Whipple came over and got into it with Mullen? And there were players on UMass fighting each other?

57 from UMASS Kurt Angled Gerri Green's ankle when he was trying to get off the pile. Green went down hurt. 57 then tried to start a fight with our sideline, but instead got in a fight with his own team. This whole time the UMASS QB was down hurt and apparently the UMASS head coach thought one of our players should have been ejected for a targeting hit on his QB. Dan and the UMASS head coach were pissed for their own reasons and started jawing back and forth. Eventually cooler heads prevailed, but it was a wild sequence of events.

57 from UMASS was a POS.

57 continued to act an idiot on the umass sideline. Shoved a few players and a coach.

Fact. They pulled him off the field as he continued to run his mouth. One of their coaches shoved him in the back from the numbers as if to get him off the field, he chunked his helmet turned around and took a swing at that coach. They had to hold the coach back. Piece of work, number 57.

On the replay he came out of the pile with the ball. I don't know if he was trying to get Green's leg or fight for the ball but I doubt anything comes of it.

57 had the ball secured in one arm and the other wrapped around Gerri's leg in a non-incidental looking way and twisting when he could have been using it to try to get out of the pile or get up. Pretty obvious to me that it was intentional.

His actions shortly after in getting in a fight with a teammate and committing a personal foul don't help his case.
