    Yep.. We're on the same page. :thumb:

    I'd like to see the actual play. Seems UGA fans think it was a calculated, dirty hit. I just want to see if it was.

    It wasn't a dirty hit but UGA fans will claim it to the grave. I can't seem to find the video of the hit again but it was far from dirty.

    BTW, he laso has a concussion.

    That is the video of the picture in question.

    The article also says he "thinks" it happened in the first half.

    Riley or Sheppard hit him pretty hard, I think it was the 1st half. It was one of the two Atlanta kids, not sure which one.

    I have not looked over any articles on the subject and maybe it is not anything close to a severe jaw injury (maybe hairline) but that hit did not look all that damaging in the 1st half. He popped right back up and I saw him yelling to the sideline in the 2nd half.

    Also not sure if the concussion occurred in the 1st half either because he looked that if any hit caused a concussion it would have been the Hatcher hit on King 2 plays before the Green score. King did a spin and Hatcher running full speed right when he turned around. His helmet went under his facemask as well.

    Either this is some kind of UGA conspiracy or he does up on some serious pain killers at half. He took 2 big shots in the 2nd half and walked away from one of them that I know about and I assume he was in on the final UGA drive.

    Overall, we just laid the wood on him multiple times in this game and they all looked like big boy football hits. Nothing dirty about them.

    one article, sorry for no link--it was either an athens or atlanta paper, said it was a clean break.
