Baylor QB fractured neck bone today.

Pretty sure my posts are consistent. Evidently they aren't to Thompson.

BU QB's perspective: The BU QB saw the ISU DB was attempting to tackle him. The BU QB turned his head to the side and ducked his head in an attempt to avoid the brunt of the collision. Unfortunately, the ducking BU QB turned the side of his helmet contacting BU's side of helmet with the crown of the ISU's helmet. The BU QB, in essence, went right into the crown of the ISU's helmet.

ISU DB's perspective: The ISU DB saw the BU QB ducking (but not turning BU's head) in an attempt to avoid ISU's tackle.
THE ISU DB LED WITH HIS HELMET (the cheap shot) as he contacted the BU QB in an attempt to tackle him.

At least we know which part of the helmet, side or crown, creates the most brunt force....

You are clueless. DDThompson made a perfect analysis of the play.

YDDThompson made a perfect analysis of the play.

He did with regard to the 2013 AFCA guidance. Not so sure it's applicable to the actual 2015 rule text above.

I'm not going to call you or DD clueless - I think it's an open question. The AFCA guidance provide an "out" for incidental contact, the actual rule text doesn't. Any refs or coaches care to jump in?

Wonder what kind of impact that will have on their upcoming game with TCU? Could have huge implications on the Big 12's playoff hopes.
