Post by: RedTop on January 02, 2013, 06:07:34 PM
Watch the video....WOW you talk about blowing someone up!!!  what a hit...if this was taught more in the college ranks and definatley in the NFL ranks the game would be better. Best hit in a long time.  Scroll down to the vid.

To be honest, I dont think it is the hit of the year.  Figure the speed they were going at, the force of impact wouldnt be as big as some of these other hits the safeties have put on this year because the speed that a WR and the speed a safety are going at before collision.  Clowney wasnt at full speed and Smith definitely wasnt going very fast.  It looks much worse than it is because Clowney hit him with perfect form and his helmet actually hit just under Smith's helmet.  That would knock off anyone's helmet.  Thankfully Clowney isnt in the NFL yet or that would have gotten a fine from the ruthless Goodell.  

This video is a compilation of hits from college last year and next month the video from this past season will be up.

Majority of those hits are bigger than Clowney's and I will assume there are hits bigger than Clowney's in terms of how big of a hit they are.  It just looks worse because of the helmet coming off which is just the result of the helmet hitting right under it.

I will say though Clowney is a freak and living up to every expectation of him coming out of high school.  He is the next Julius Peppers without question.  I just hope he doesnt get screwed and get drafted by a 3-4 team.  He is a 4-3 defensive end and that is the defense South Carolina runs, he needs to be in a 4-3 system.  Too many players get screwed by the system they get put in by changes in coordinators going from 4-3 to 3-4 or vise versa.

Didnt make the video.  But I agree the music is poop.  This video has a bit better music.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isXVk0z3efY

Btw watching them Gators on TV (gator fan), that hit Bostic on Bridgewater already bigger than Clowney's in my opinion.  Bostic was going full speed into him.  Bridgewater got up not knowing where he was.  The Gators are hitting them hard.

Yeah, that game was pretty much called before it started.  Fail all the way on a match up there.  Turned down tickets as it is cheaper to stay home and watch it instead of going there and spending $10 a beer.

The Gators are a second half team.  Their offense comes alive in the 2nd half, Pease does some magic adjustments at half time. 

The way the Gators are hitting Louisville though, the Cardinals are not going want to come out in the 2nd half.  They are all going want to be in ice baths at half time.

i was sitting about halfway up the lower bowl at that game, and Clowney made that hit just about right in front of where I was. It was incredible! That was the play that really got the fans back into the game. The very next play, Connor hits Ace on a great pass and Ace makes an even greater catch for the TD.

But that hit, we were cheering louder almost than we did for the game-winning TD. Incredible hit, incredible game :rock

  He is a 4-3 defensive end and that is the defense Clemson runs, he needs to be in a 4-3 system.  Too many players get screwed by the system they get put in by changes in coordinators going from 4-3 to 3-4 or vise versa.

Lots of talk from someone who didn't pay attention to which team Clowney calls home................

Fixed.....was talking to a friend on facebook about the next upcoming star out of high school, Robert Nkemdiche who will probably be better than Clowney.  Was mentioning on Facebook that he is probably going go to Clemson even with the decommit hence the typo.  Guy is bigger and just as fast as Clowney coming out of high school.

The flag was for interference of the returner.  The punt returner waived his hand for fair catch and was hit anyways.

That's what I figured. Was the player who hit him sent off? As in, Do Not Return?

What really hurts to me as a Michigan fan is the fact that clowney choose SC over Michigan when RR was canned. Although I will take Hoke and his mentality over Clowney, no matter how much of a stud Clowney is  teams only have to fear him (In college football) for 1-2 more years.  CLowney by far is  the best end I have seen better then Kearse better than Peppers the kid is just SICK. I do think Lewan held his own against him on the Vincent Smith OMGRAWR!!!! hit Lewan was not assigned to clowney. Clowney had 4 tackles the whole game but man how badly the Vincent smith hit effected the game that was a big momentum swing.

I think he's leaning towards Ole Miss

When vincent smith got smashed why was clowney in the guard position?  Michigan should have recognised the 4 DE front of SC and handled the blocking better.

The SC ends pressured michigan all day and they we never "contained", I give kudos to devan gardner for avoiding the SC rush and giving michigan a chance.

Clowney had 4 total tackles  I would say that was mostly contained. The big play he made there was a call made on the line to change the blocking scheme and Lewan went from helpimng the TE Kiatakoski(SP?) with clowbney to helping Barnum, with his man leaving the TE to  solo clowney. Problem is the TE did not hear this call  and thought Lewan would be helping him so he fired off at the agnle you would if double teaming someone, ad since lewan wasnt on the other side clowney just ran past.
