[Husker] The Hit

[Steve Kauf]

What is amazing is listening to the announcers - they talk about a violent hit - but never a mention of dirty or illegal.  Now - OU would have been begging for flags - Cunningham would have been talking ejection  and The Big 12 would have sat him down for life!!!  Oh my - how times have changed!

It was a clean hit for the time. No facemask as Greg says, Helmet to shoulder pad.

Sure, I'll take the bait. ;-) 
 
He lead with his helmet and hit Phelps in the facemask. Today it would be a personal foul.

Anyone want to argue illegal hit on THIS one? Mr. Helmet, meet Mr. Shoulder Pads. BOOM!
