Clueless Brit Reacts to COLLEGE FOOTBALL for the VERY FIRST TIME 

check out my (NFL BIGGEST HITS) HERE COMES THE BOOM Reaction👇👇 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--MBGmONKnYs.html

A lot of people here in the US actually prefer watching college football over the NFL

You should check out college football entrances and college football training facilities. Schools to look for in your search would include Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, USC, Notre Dame, Clemson, and Michigan. Big schools with unbelievable investment in football.

There is a running back in the NFL who plays for the Tennessee Titans named Derrick Henry and he used to play college football here at the University of Alabama where he won a Heisman trophy. There is a video of his vicious stiff arms into would-be defenders. You might like it. His nickname is King Henry. For a big guy he can run fast. We've had numerous championships here at the University of Alabama and we have had thousands of star players go to the NFL. There is a long list of extraordinary players that went to school here. But you can't go wrong watching any Southeastern Conference ( SEC ) college team. It's the premier conference of college football.

College football has a couple things going for it. One, the sheer number of participants, and the fans that have vested interest in their college (students, alumni, parents of players, etc). Two, of the 11 stadiums worldwide that seat more than 100,000 people... EIGHT of them are NCAA college football stadiums. Three... and this is important when it comes to rivalry games... college football is over fifty years older than the NFL. First game was played in 1869, though it looked a lot more like rugby back then. You've got some colleges out there that have had gameday bullseyes on a neighboring team for well over 100 years.

Alot of these hits would be illegal today but were perfectly legal back at the time these games took place.

10:24 That guy in Alabama Crimson Tide red is currently on my NFL team.

CFB is unique in that there are 10 independent conferences under 1 umbrella of rules & regulations . Each conferences has their own commissioners, refferies TV deals, Conf- championship, ect but play for one National championship . Most teams play 8 conf games and 4 out of conf games. Teams move up and down a national ranking system each week called the "Top 25" This creates rivalries between conferences in addition to inner conf rivalries.

Those "blindside" blocks used to be legal but they have been made illegal for the last couple of years. They are trying to minimize possible concussions. Also, helmet to helmet has become a penalty in most cases, called targeting. Targeting, if upheld, gets the offending player taken out for the rest of the game(and part of the following game, depending when the foul occurred during the game, basically the player is "suspended" for 4 quarters).

Florida (UF) and Florida State (FSU) are two different teams. The first one was FSU vs Clemson, the one with Tebow was UF. UF & FSU play each other every year in the last week of the regular season. The state universities in FL that are in D1 FBS, are UF, FSU, UCF, USF, FAU, and FIU. If you just say Florida, people will assume that you mean UF.

2:14 University of South Carolina vs University of Michigan Jadeveon Clowney is the man with the epic hit. He was and still is one to be recokoned with. I believe he is currently with the Cleveland Browns

When choosing a college team be aware that there can be slight differences to the names. Example: University of Michigan & Michigan State University are 2 Big Ten Conference schools in Michigan that are bitter rivals.

You should do a reaction to "stiff arms." That's where powerful running backs are carrying the ball with one hand and just shoving defenders outta the way with the other hand. Derrick Henry is particularly vicious with his stiff arms. He just drives defenders off their feet and slams them to the ground. Also, you should watch Gus Johnson's best NFL calls. He's a play-by-play announcer who gets extremely excited calling big plays.

You can't go wrong with any of the Southeastern Conference teams. Consistently multiple SEC teams are in the top 25. We are adding two more teams to our conference in the 23-24 season. I'm a University of Kentucky Wildcat fan! Go Big Blue! Just an example how crazy it can get: University of Tennessee played Alabama back in October at Tennessee. Tennessee beat 'Bama and the fans were jumping around so much, they were recorded on a seismograph a few miles away! They stormed the field and took down the uprights! There are several colleges in all the states. University of Florida, Florida State, University of Miami are the big ones in Florida. UF is in the SEC, FSU and Miami are in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) SEC teams: University of Kentucky, University of Florida, U of Georgia, U of Alabama, U of Tennessee, Vanderbilt University, Auburn University, U of Mississippi, Mississippi State University, U of South Carolina, U of Missouri, Texas A & M, Louisiana State University, U of Arkansas. The two being added for the 23-24 season: Universities of Texas and Oklahoma.

I have been a college football Official for 23 years. These boys play fast and furious, they know their games are being seen by pro teams It is all about making it to the next level. NFL.

You seemed to be a stiff arm fan as well. Watch a Derrick Henry highlight video, then an Alabama highlight video, and you'll know what college team to pull for. Roll Tide from south Alabama.

I'm so glad to see you having fun watching college football.

they've recently been trying to make the game safer by implanting rules as to where/when you can hit people. At the moment, these rules are ill-defined, so that's why you hear commentators arguing over whether it was a clean hit or not.

The block around 2:30 was legal in 2012, when the game was played. It's now an illegal block.

The best is when you’re the guy with the ball and you catch that blindside block out of the corner of your eyes and you get so hyped!

Most of these hits are legal. In recent years there have been rule changes to make helmet to helmet contact a penalty. Which is pretty controversial because football is inherently a violent game so if you’re afraid of getting hurt you just shouldn’t play. But changing the rules of contact just makes it into an entirely different game that’s not as fun to play and not as fun to watch. There’s also a trend of calling penalties on any play where there’s a hard hit, even if it was completely legal. The game has gotten softer.

Playing high school and college football...2 different worlds but so much fun!! Notre Dame and Penn State are 2 good teams to root for. 😉

Most of these hits are legal ! New rules added several yrs ago No Hitting in the head/neck area .

That first hit was a spear and you can tell defender got hurt as well. Parrish (reeceiver that was hit) went to hospital with internal bleeding.

Playing football feels a lot like falling down the stairs once a week for a few months. I miss hitting people.

It's the second time i watch you reacting to football hits , and usually people from England , Ireland and Scotland are shocked and in disbelief , but you really like it and it makes your reactions so fun . You got a new subscriber and i'm shure i wont be the last , so keep on reacting !

That Slay hit against KSU is one of the prettiest hits in history. Greg Jones big brother if Dexter Reid will be my all time favorite

I love how much you like blocks! It's the same way i feel about a great cross in soccer/football

Re: helmets coming off, they're designed to do that. The straps are set to pop when a certain amount of force is applied. The idea is that with that (or greater) amount of force pushing the helmet up, if it stayed secure it'd do damage. If the helmet really wants to come off, but it can't, it'll probably break a neck or similar. :/ The helmet popping off is actually a safety feature, letting the force dissipate on the helmet itself rather than the neck or jaw.

Helmets come off even if properly secured. There are tremendous forces at work. Damn dude.

I'm not from there but I do know that Alabama is consistently always up there as far as college teams. Clemson is an institution as well. I mean there are many but those two stick out in my head.

7:38 the WR who was hit was DeSean Jackson a 3x All-Star who has played 14 years in the NFL.

The Florida team that has white, orange, and blue is the university of Florida. The Florida team in the gold and garnet (red) is Florida State University (my team). Miami is a Florida team and they wear green, orange, and white. Other usually good teams are Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia (these past couple years), TCU, Clemson, USC, LSU, Oklahoma, Auburn, Notre Dame, Texas, Tennessee (this past season). Season by season it can be up in the air who will be great. That’s what makes it fun.

NFL Brutal hits by ding production hands down best nfl hits video, I been loving your content you got a subscriber

I was watching when Jadeveon Clowney made that hit for South Carolina, wow!

College football is better in my opinion. The atmosphere is unmatched at any level in any sport. A good video that shows this is called the best entrances in college football by RSHIGLIGHTS. Also, MLB headshots is a great baseball video by WesleyAPEX. Keep up the great work!

So here's the thing, my British brother. When you do choose your college and NFL teams to pull for, once you make that choice, it's over. You can have other teams you like and appreciate but win or lose. Your team is your team forever. You gotta be willing to sit through a decade of losses whilst the program you're pulling for makes changes

You may be a “football” fan but you have the spirit of a football fan!

You gotta check out Best College Football Entrances! Will give you a peek into how big College Football is here

Watch the 2023 college hype video. Each team has a certain culture…things they’re known for and different styles. If you’re into hard nose brutal football keep your team within the SEC. Super physical. Then certain teams are more known for speed and so on. So just depends on what style you like and then the culture of the team. For instance we are LSU fans. I love the atmosphere of Baton Rouge and they are known for their crazy atmosphere at games. Their stadium is called Death Valley. One of the stadiums that register as an earthquake. Also they go hard in college football because you can’t not go hard in football. Also check out best college entrances. You’ll see why they are so hyped up for a game.

Should check out a tour of LSU's new $28M facilities. They're one of the most prestigious college football teams in history and just recently renovated their football facilities. Deestoying and COISKI have 2 of the best tours of their new place.

i remember coaches always saying, _"If the helmet flies and the head isn't still in it, you're not hitting hard enough."_

Most of these helmet to helmet hits are illegal now because these guys get knocked out, or get concussed.

Florida,Florida state, Miami,central fla,south fla,fiu, fau,Bethune cookman,Jacksonville. Those are the Florida schools I can recall at this time in college football.

The 3 major Florida college football teams are the Miami Hurricanes, the Florida State Seminoles, and the Florida Gators. Florida also has several other Division One (major) college football teams, such as Jacksonville State, University of Central Florida, Florida Southern University, and others.

14:28 Both those teams are actually Florida. There's the Florida State Seminoles, Florida Gators, Miami Hurricanes, UCF (University of Central Florida) Knights, the USF (University of South Florida) Bulls and quite a few other D1 college teams. Most states have quite a few college teams that are Division 1. Another example would be Texas where you have the Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M Aggies, Texas Tech Red Raiders, UH (University of Houston) Cougars, etc.

In that first clip the receiver ended up coughing up blood on the field and spent a couple days in the hospital

These hits are how we all used to play in the 70’s and 80s when I was a kid.

The majority of these hits are legal. The refs are close by and if a hit is illegal you will see an immediate yellow flag. They are working a lot on the safety of the players but, they are mostly focusing on protecting the head.

College football is more exciting weekend to weekend because literally anything can happen and one loss can be enough to keep you out of the national championship playoff

Rule changes have 1/2 these hits flagged for "personal fouls" 15 yards. Helmet to helmet, leading with the crown of your helmet, leaving your feet to "spear" a player. On passes many times the defender will "time" his hit to dislodge the ball from the receiver. Early is a 15 yard foul.... NFL it`s a spot foul, ball placed at where the foul happened. Also "blindside" blocks are fouls IF you're facing your endzone, this so at least the player has a chance to see you.

Flags mean, that in this play a penalty occured, mostly at the spot where the flag is thrown to. So if a flag lands on the spot of the hit, the hit is mostly not legal.

You asked if the hit at 2:36 was illegal. It was penalized. That was controversial since for many years it was deemed perfectly legal. The hit happened in the 2012 Big Ten championship game. Nebraska was penalized 15 yards, but later managed to score on that drive in spite of the penalty.

When you see the st behind the school name that’s and abbreviation for state so if you see for instance Florida vs Florida St. those are two different schools multiple states can have university of and also state. Let’s go back to the example I used prior University of Florida you’ll either see UF or Florida where as Florida State you’ll see it as Florida St., FSU or Florida State University. The same premise goes with schools like the university of North Carolina (UNC) & North Carolina State ( NC State). While some states doe only have one major football program most states have multiple schools.

College football culture wise is probably a lot more similar to how the UK views their soccer clubs in terms of support etc. Pretty much every region in the US has some form of very good college football program, or a program that has been good at some point. People are far more likely to support their local college team regardless of the level of play they are at, and whether or not they are successful. My university for example is only in NCAA Division 2 for Football, yet the games still sell out every weekend. The closest NFL team is 3 hours away, so for many people here this team is just the more reasonable and affordable option. People often also root for teams for schools they themselves may have never gone to, as like supporting any club it is just something that a family does/has done for forever. Back home I am from one of the few regions of the US where college football is actually less popular than the NFL, and that is mostly due to our NCAA conference collapsing and the fact that my regions has a bunch of massive urban populace centers with pro sports teams all right near one another well within easy travel distance, so it has a more robust following. Even then, there are still a few HUGE CFB teams in my region despite that, so even in areas where it isn't as dominant it still has a noticeable presence. With pro sports in the US, it is very market dependent on whether or not a team in a specific sport will do well, and on top of that they realistically have to put up results 9/10 times to retain any sort of following. A good example of this is the Arizona Coyotes, which are an NHL franchise that have been around for almost 30 years now and still have one of the lowest attendance rates in the league and worst historical franchise records. Just putting a club in the city was not enough. ASU on the other hand sells out a 50k+ person football stadium every weekend(used to be 70k they had to reduce the capacity of the stadium). This is likely due to pro sports being more of a corporate endeavor and something that didn't really take off in viewership until post WWII here(outside of the MLB, and technically the NFL but it was quite niche until after WWII), where as collegiate sports have always been a big thing in the US. Grid Iron Football in specific was also codified in the US by college club teams, specifically Rutgers and Princeton in 1869, so its roots are in collegiate level sports rather than pro level, so it would make sense there is a longer and larger historical following.

You can’t go wrong picking a college football team. Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Michigan, Clemson, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Penn State are some of the most popular bandwagon teams, but just with division one alone there are 131 teams at the top level, and another 120+ at the lower subdivision level of division one. Honestly there are 10 conferences, and one group of teams with no conference, at the top level known as FBS. You could realistic support one team from each conference and chances are that they will not play against each other more than once or twice a decade as 75% of all your games are within your conference. Every city has a college team at some level, and even some small towns, so college football in the United States is the closest you can get to english soccer/football with the passion of the fans, though mostly not violent like it tends to get in the UK, and the fact that litterally every single person has allegiance to a college team but not all have NFL teams. College football is teh better attended football, more entertaining football, and if you take out the Super Bowl it’s the more watched version of football in the United States.

If you want to support the best college football team in all of history then it's the University of Michigan Wolverines. 2023 National champions, winningest team in all of college football in history. Founded in 1879. Has the biggest stadium in all of sports. And the best fight song in college hail to the victors. And it's the college team of the great city of Detroit. Go Blue.

History and geography have much to do with the popularity of college football. Since there are only 32 NFL teams, one might be quite a ways from a game. Travel can be an issue. But there are literally hundreds of college teams ( including all divisions/levels) so a game is usually close by. As to history, the NFL is a mere 100 or so years old while the first intercollegiate football game took place in 1869 (Rutgers U. vs. Princeton U.) By the time the NFL came into existence, the college game was wildly popular.

you really need to check out the college football tailgating videos, ones down south get really lit with both fans drinking an doing amazing bar bq s an cookouts, all getting along till the game starts, some with 100k to 1 million dollar motor homes just for tailgating parties

The flags indicate that the referee/official has called a foul on the play. In recent years, a number of rules have been implemented in the name of player safety. The rules at the college level are more stringent than those of the NFL. For example, any direct, initial contact with the head is a foul called "targeting". The player who committed the foul, is immediately sent off without appeal. If the foul occurs in the second half of a game, he is not eligible to return until the second half of the following game. It is similar to a rugby or association football red card. However, the team whose player is sent off, is not required to play with ten men. They may replace the ejected player. Blind side blocks are also illegal. It has always been a foul to block an opponent in the back. The rule of thumb used to be, if the blocker can see the numbers on the front of the defender's shirt, the block is legal. Now, officials may judge that a defender is unaware of a potential blocker due to his angle of pursuit (thus, "blind"). Finally, there is a rule which protects "defenseless players". If a player catches the ball, but has not yet had the chance to brace for impact, fend off, or avoid a potential tackler, he is deemed "defenseless". Fouls in American football are generally assessed in terms of yardage awarded to the team against whom the foul was committed. The more serious the foul, the greater the yardage awarded. The base increments are 5,10, and 15 yards. There are also stipulations for a "spot foul" (the ball is placed where the foul occurred) and "distance to goal". Distance to goal is used when the normal yardage awarded exceeds the remaining yardage. Example: the offense has the ball on the opponent's 7 yard line. The defense commits what is normally a ten yard penalty/foul. The offense is awarded 3.5 yards. One last thing - if the offense commits a penalty in its own end zone, the defending team is awarded two points (AKA: a "safety"). The team which committed the foul is then obligated to kick off to the defending team, thus relinquishing possession. The laws of the game are extremely complex. Even committed fans, players, and coaches are sometimes hazy on what's allowed and what is not in a given situation. Your best bet, is to watch full games with knowledgeable fans who are willing to answer questions as they come up.

Alabama is the 🐐 of college football. Roll tide

The winningest college team in the last 50 yrs is Alabama

The Ohio State University, best football team and best marching band as well. There were several hits in that game being delivered by the silver bullets of the Ohio State defense

Helmet to helmet hit are flagged today due to number of concussions

There's multiple colleges in each state. Florida has Florida State Seminoles (Gold/Burgandy), USF Bulls (Gold/Green) Florida Gators (Orange/Blue), Miami "U" (Orange/ Green) to name a few. Nearly every state has "University of STATE" & "STATE state University" For example: University of Oregon Ducks Oregon State University Beavers Michigan State Spartans University of Michigan Wolverines Arizona State SunDevils University of Arizona Wildcats There's HUNDREDS of college football teams in the US!

College football is an interesting contrast to the NFL. Obviously its a lower level of talent, but all the players are young and in their prime so you get to see some amazing athletics. Also the college coaches are more willing to take risks with their quarterbacks and other skill positions, since they don't have to worry about their player's long term health, as the players will probably only be in their starting lineup for a few years. So you see a lot designed quarterback runs and frequent use of the option play in which the QB will either run or pitch the ball to another player when he's about to be tackled. However, the big downside of college football is that the talent parity is significantly less than in the NFL. There's nothing like a draft or salary cap to even out the talent between teams. Colleges are only limited by the number of scholarships they can issue. Players can attend any college they want. So naturally all the biggest, richest, and most famous school get all the best players.

It’s worse to be a glory hunter for college teams than NFL teams there’s more passion

2:30 Might not want to write down the name of that team! LOL! I lived 10 minutes from Williams-Bryce Stadium and the University of South Carolina for 6 years while I was in my 20s. Their team name is the South Carolina Gamecocks so you will see women walking around Columbia, SC with team merchandise that says stuff like "GO COCKS!" or hats that say "I

the flag is for any hit above the shoulder or helmet to helmet contact.

The gold and red is Flordia STATE. Different than Flordia (university of flordia) which is blue and orange. Tim Tebows old team.

there are several Florida universities with good football programs. Florida State University (gold and red), University of Florida (blue and orange), University of Central Florida (white and gold), and University of Miami (green and orange).

othere people have probably said it, but in this video there were at least three diffeerent universities in Florida, each different. There was Central Florida, Florida State, and University of Florida. They're all different.

The University of Alabama is THE college football program. Not just right now, but of all time. More national championships than any other program, and they're in the midst of the most dominant run in college football history. I'm not exaggerating either, it's not even close. Nick Saban is their coach and he's the best to ever do it. He's the only coach to win *7* national championships, 6 of which have come since he took over at Alabama in 2007. The University of Georgia has won the last 2 national championships, and they're easily the 2nd best program, but Alabama runs things.

4:05 YT should not allow this hit to be shown in the context of an entertainment video. This play ended the football careers of both players involved. I believe one of them might have been permanently disabled/paralyzed as a result. Anyone who believes the pads and helmets somehow make the sport "safe" or less brutal than rugby, or Aussie football, or Gaelic rules football, is sorely misinformed.

The big 3 in college football. Alabama, Ohio State, and Texas. Notre Dame hasn’t been worth a damn for a decade, Texas is more name these days. Georgia has only recently been good. USC? Who cares? Best bet is one of the other two, and Alabama is the beast every team circles on their schedule.

4:05 that hit ended both of their careers.

Blind side blocks to defenseless players is no long legal. It was when lots of these games were played though.

You have got to watch more Clemson Tigers. Definitely brute force on that team. I'm from Clemson

College hits are often more spectacular then the NFL ones, as the players are smaller and they fly further when you hit them.A flag thrown on the field is a penalty marker throw by a referee. Most of these hits are perfectly legal.

The helmets come off because if strapped too tight the damage during a grab to the facemask could be devastating to the neck.

Just to let you know helmet to helmet is called "targeting", leading with your head to tackle is illegal. It's to reduce head injuries, some of them in the past has left players paralyzed for life. That's the reason for the flag, 15 yard penalty and played ejected from the game.

Not a lot of flags there as hitting someone hard isn't illegal. What you look for [and it depends on the year] is the helmet. Helmet to helmet contact became illegal in 2010 NFL and 2013 college football. Also, in 1976 they made spearing [leading with the helmet lined up with your body like a "spear"] to tackle illegal. In 2008 they made "defenseless player" tackle illegal ... if you launch yourself [leave your feet] into a player before the ball gets there; also, if you use your head, shoulder, arm to strike the head when they're "defenseless" looking for the ball. Actually, it's not just before the ball, but could also be just as the ball gets there as they are still ruled defenseless. Many hits you see here might be illegal today but weren't when they happened. There is also the part of, as fast as the game is, the refs interpretation.

I always love to see somebody who wants to learn about football. It’s religion here in the south…. Go Dawgs

There are 32 teams and they’re in 22 states. Almost half our states dont have a home team. Id say theres normally 3ish big name colleges per state maybe more. College is just wider spread.

Ohio State is an incredible team with an incredible fanbase and would be a crazy good team to root for

Each hit is equivalent to a car wreck

Good one sir. I thought the lighting was cool actually. Keep em coming.

Based on the timing of these flags I would suspect that these flags were fir "Unnecessary Roughness". Florida? There is the University of Florida Gators (blue/orange uniforms member of the Southeast Conference SEC) and there is Florida State University Seminoles (Maroon/gold uniforms member of the Atlantic Coast Conference-ACC)

P.S. Florida has 2 excellent teams... Univ. of Fl. and Fl. State. 2 different teams with 2 different mascots.

look up Reggie bush college highlights if you want to see some crazy offensive plays to switch it up a bit

Seems you love big hits. At one point the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL had a OP defense. The secondary was filled with hard hitters or great interceptors. The most well known hard hitter who has a legacy for being known for his hard tackles is “Kam Chancellor”. You can find many videos of him or the legion of boom in general-but if you’re looking for hard tackles watch Kam Chancellor alone. Also for a college star that I personally love watching is Tavon Austin. He played on offense but he was blazing fast and made it entertaining to see how well he can run and cut.

Most states have at least 2 college teams that play in division 1 and even more at the lower divisions. The Florida teams you saw were the University of Florida (Gators), Florida State (Seminoles) and the University of Central Florida (Knights) - and there's more D1 florida teams (USF, FIU, FAU, Miami just off the top of my head). And a lot of the flags you're seeing in these big hit videos is because of illegal contact to someone's head.

Most states in the US have 2 colleges that participate in division 1 athletics college football. States have other colleges that play in divison 2 and 3, basically the smaller the number the better. All these clips come from NCAA D1 For example: Michigan Michigan State Or Florida Florida State The difference between a regular college and one that ends in “state” is that the one that ends in state is a smaller but higher in terms of education. This is why you saw multiple Floridas. Or it’s just repeated clips of the same team.

Georgia bulldogs, national champions for last two years! ❤️

Regarding the hit between Oklahoma and Florida before the ball got there…yes, yes it should have been a penalty.

as long as he doesn't hit in the back. I have been a football official for 23 years. try being down in the middle of all this. No most aren't illegal. Definitely a MAN's game. Illegal if you hit helmet to helmet.

There’s a few big colleges in Florida and they all hate each other

Maybe you should check out Football Stadiums or Traditions to help you pick your favorite team.

Ohio State Buckeyes! The biggest rivalry in college football is Michigan Ohio State

Id advise watching more college football. NFL is great but theres a rawness and drive inside college kids that you dobt see in the pros. Guys in the NFL have already made it. They have to stay in shape and continue working hard but those college kids are out there literally playing to get to that pro level so they are leaving it ALL ON THE FIELD. You see more emotion. You only 4-5 years depending on redshirting. You also only have around 14 games per year so each loss is HUGE and a possible season ender, meanibg 1 loss all year can keep you from going to the championship. Its so much more exciting.
