I cant imagine what it would be like to have someone attacking you to try and gouge you like that. You can see the Georgia player trying to get him away.
On ESPN, Mike Golic and Merill Hodge think it is extremely dirty and Golic went on to say its worse than the Blount punch. However, there isnt near the outrage or video replays being shown that Blount's punch drew. I think that is mostly because the video has surfaced during the World Series and NFL season, so there is a lot more news going on right now. That will lessen the public outcry over this, and therefore lessen his punishment to a game tops. Since that game is Vanderbilt, this will have zero impact on the BCS title push.
