Are you talking about Benjy? It wasn't a bullshit flag..... Watch very closely starting at .05....McDonald's facemask is clearly grabbed and his head turns to the left as a result.
yep turns his head. that one woulda been hard to see without hdtv or hd jumbotron back then for sure.
The play was right in front of me and I didn't see anything. Actually the play should have been stopped before that. The Trojan right guard, I think, stood up before the snap. Should have been a false start. It was very obvious and back then a no brainer.
I can only address the issue of an alleged bullshit flag. It clearly wasn't. Paul McDonald had a better view and he said he felt the grab. Certainly there were other bad or missed calls during the game, it happens. That one just happened at the worst time and location possible.
All in all, Earl Campbell was the best college running back I've ever seen. Ran hard all the time, like he really needed to bust some ass. He wasn't the fastest but like Fournette could shift from cruise to go in a gnat's heartbeat. That's called quick and that shit fucks with DB's timing on any angles they think they have. If Marcus Dupree had played longer, like Collins, maybe. Didn't play long enough to measure how tough he was thanks to Switzer, the biggest S.O.B. that ever drew a breath.
