Was Jackson's hit clean?

Did Janzen Jackson show all out effort to help win or did he make a "thuggish" play?

No he thinks he's a headhunter and the next coming of Eric berry. He needs to calm his happy go lucky self down and play football and tackle people not try to kill them everytime.

Clean hit and the receiver didn't have control inbounds either. Robbed all the way around tonight and at LSU. Oh well.

....it's really amazing that you can't leave your feet to hit someone now.

Read the rules, please. Rules state if you lead with your head, which translate to making initial contact with intent to harm with your helmet (previously known as spearing) or if the ref infers vicious intent per contact to the opponent's head a penalty can be assessed.

In this case, JJ made initial contact with his right shoulder into the upper arm of the ball carrier.

It was a GREAT defensive play & a clean hit, he lead with his shoulder pad right into the defenders back. 10 years ago no flag is thrown, in the new wussy football it's a flag.

By present rule, it still should not have been a penalty.

He left his feet and launched toward a defenseless receiver with no play toward the ball. I hate it but it is a penalty.

Did they call it for launching into a defenseless receiver? All I heard was personal foul.

His head went left. Shoulder hit the player, never touched the other players helmet either. The replay clearly shows a clean hit. Also, the "Blow to the head" against Yates earlier was BS as well.

Your response Sir or Madame is out of line. I know it's beneath someone like you to ever think you're wrong or to apologize, but you owe this entire Nation an apology.

And when did a team ever get points on the board for hitting a guy hard. I think you're looking at the wrong sport. Try boxing...

Janzen knocked the ball loose, which, had the officials been calling a football game rather than a Tar Heel ballet, would have resulted in UNC not putting their final three points on the board and UT winning.

I think Jackson played aggressive: Not saying right or wrong. Early in the game it sets a tone that the receivers worry about; later in the game, as it happened to turn out, it cost.

I'm not sure how the "launching rule/leading with helmet" reads exactly. Helmet to helmet is a defined penalty. No (I saw the replay a hundred time too) I don't believe it was helmet to helmet. He was trying to jar the ball loose knowing the receiver was likely to make a catch. At full speed making that decision is a little harder to judge.

Needs to lose his spot just because of that bone head play. Make his a$$ work to earn it back all off season to show him how stupid of a play that was.

Wow do you think that he would have even thought of how to hit the guy? No he was just trying to make a play, I thought he went with his shoulder anways. If anyones fault its the great kicker we have.

The problem was that he launched into the air with his helment facing forward. It is a foul, anytime, anyplace.

He clearly launched but he didn't lead with his head. On top of that the pass was incomplete. How do u catch the ball in ur right arm & hit the ground on ur stomach & the ball roll under ur body into ur left arm & it be a catch.

By the rules, it was an illegal hit. Players are no longer allowed to "launch" themselves at other people like that. Jackson clearly did that. I don't necessarily agree with the rule, but it is a rule. And he did break it. That said, he did what he had to do in an attempt to dislodge the ball...which I believe he did. Had the ref paid attention to the receiver more than the hit, they may have gotten it right.

The problem was he launched himself at the receiver leading with his head. Doesn't matter where he hit him at that point.

He drove his shoulder into the guy. Sorry for God's creation, but his head is right beside his shoulder....

I think the hit was legal from not leading with the helmet. Unfortunately, he launched himself to a defenseless receiver. That act was the cause of the penalty. I wish someone would find the NCAA rules statue to explain that penalty.

Personally, my question is did he land inbounds with the ball?
