I couldnt resist

 

[DuffMan]

Can someone please change the title, to Better Hit: Yanda, Bernstine, or Timmy D?

 

[olddude]

Both nice. I think Bernstine's had a little more air under him and did take out two guys. Yanda's had more of a "you just got knocked the #$%^ out" to it.
Beer or whiskey, why cant we have both? Don't make me choose.

 

[spudhawk]

Yanda's among the best of all time.

 

[HawkeyeShane]

This is like choosing a favorite child...I'll chose Bernstine's cuz his is the youngest...

 

[GoHawks24]

Yanda's block fo sho. The ULM guy got up pretty quick for how hard he got hit. That ISU DE was down for a long time...

 

[RocknRollface]

Yandas is the most brutal but, you know what may be better than all of them, Jewel Hampton decleating a blitzing Linebacker at AZ.

There was no element of surprise like there is with the other three, just a head on collision where the Lb got destroyed.

Anyone have video of that one?

Bernstines appears to be against either a JR or a Sr (3 or 9 I can't tell 100%). Guy #2 I can't get any good read on the number. 37 maybe 87, it looks like *7. Either way, he took out an upperclassman rather then a Freshman or taking out a guy with a Halo rule (crappy rule).

 

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

Yanda, it was against ISU.

 

[ssckelley]

I gotta go with Yanda, that guy is probably still wondering where he is.

 

[imported_ankle23]

Yanda, hands down: took out a clown.

 

[Oldtimer]

Gallery against Illinois, he launched a poor CB into the expensive seats on a sweep.

 

[Hawkeyes1982x]

Yanda leveled a clown, so that wins. But dang that Timmy D hit was nice along with Bernstine.

 

[528646]

Yanda, for sure. He erased Parker on that play.

Bernstine's was a good solid lick, but not one I'm going to remember 5 years from now (I can still remember the Yanda block vividly!)

It's not Tim's either. I am one of the biggest Tim Dwight fans on the planet, but I'm sorry - that was a dirty hit. Ended up being a 15 yd PF halo infraction, if memory serves.

 

[tweeterhawk]

I went with Bernstine. Not often you get a two-fer like that. That's football's equivalent of bowling's 6-7 pickup.

 

[Ikeasaurus]

I went with Yanda because it was Iowa State. I also think there should be some consideration for Bob Sander's hit on kick coverage his freshman year.

 

[CloneHawk]

Yanda. That was one if the biggest hits I've seen

 

[LGEND24]

Bernstine because of how far the player fell back.

 

[Briggs32]

Doesn't anyone remember the hit by Ballard against PSU in '09? On an Iowa INT he levels a PSU player. At about 4:26

there have been great hits and there will be great hits, but Yanda's was legendary.
