I saw that and I thought the same thing.
He was still on his knees when he was hit.
We all thought there should have been a personal foul.
How could the ref miss this? He was standing right there.

One question I had during the Kansas game came after a KU kickoff that
was fielded by somebody -- Wilson, maybe?  This was the return where
Wilson got the ball in the end zone, started to bring it out, and then
took a knee before he got out of the end zone.  My question had 
nothing
to do with whether or not he had actually exited the end zone; rather,
once he had taken a knee, and I believe he was standing up, a KU 
player
hit him pretty hard.  Was wondering why this wasn't a personal foul?
One could argue that the player thought maybe Wilson had come out of 
the
end zone, thus making him "fair game", but that is ridiculous -- a
player is down when he takes a knee, no matter where he is.  Did 
anyone
else notice this?
