I think “The Hit” by Clowney will forever be the greatest hit. The history behind it. The clear turnover on downs given the ball is short of the first down, and the refs moving the chains closer on live TV to give Michigan the ball. Just absolute beauty. Ball don’t lie
Credit towards that Virginia Texh quarterback, though. Got laid flat out on his belly and still got up and chased down the defender. Couldn't prevent the scoop and score, but that's still some heart
@@TmoneyProductions we've had a rough say 20 years since our 01 natl title appearance lol but Rhule is recruiting some really solid players got some 5 star transfers from Georgia and I'm thinking next year is gonna be a step in the right direction. Or at least it can't get any worse than what Frost already did lmao
Much respect to the Virginia Tech QB at 1:38. Gets absolutely rocked, still gets right back up and does everything he can to try and prevent the TD. That's heart right there
I am a Clemson Tiger, but credit where credit is due Clowney will be in the CFB hall of fame and that hit regardless of the refs bullshit will be a play that is on every college highlight reel. That wasn't a college athlete that was an absolute dude, a beast spewed from hell. I remember watching it as a kid live, it still sends shivers down my spine. Happy for him to have left a never fading mark on the game.
Was hoping to see the Shaun Shivers play from when he was at Auburn. Smallest man on the field hits an Alabama Safety at the goal line on a TD run so hard his helmet flew off.
I was at that liberty bowl between Arkansas and Kansas this year. Crazy fucking game, that hit Macado put on that receiver made him throw up. Dude was on the field for like five solid minutes. Go hogs.
Dude the clowney second shot of his angels he took is one of the best plays in football man. You’re missing Patrick Willis at ole miss picking up a RB at LSU and slamming him on his back.
Withersppon out of Illinois is a dog! He will be a very fortunate player for whoever ends up picking him up in the first round. Too 5 college cornerbacks (actually somewhere between 1st&2nd in most stats). He is s lock down corner, super athletic, knows certain looks and knows his assignment. Not to mention he hits like a linebacker!
@@danieldixon2005 by that logic why don’t we just play flag football. Keep your head on a swivel like every player has been taught since 2nd grade and this wouldn’t happen
@@danieldixon2005 so you know with 100% certainty that a shove would stop the defender from making a play? Oh no you don't and that's why you hit him and remove him from the equation
The Texas vs Alabama game reminds me when i was 4 playing my first game against our biggest competitor. It was kickoff 1st quarter and i picked the ball up. I see their entire team rush me and i promise, i was 6 ft under.
1. How are you celebrating a blind side hit when they literally couldn't see you to avoid you? 2. How did any of these players get up and walk away after these hits?
Man awesome, too bad these types of hits won't be happening as much as they used to. They are cracking down real hard now penalties, ejection from games and fines as well. Case in point Cameron Hayward slammed the browns QB down and got a flag for roughing the passer. Qb was a runner at that point In time and wasn't throwing so that flag should of never been thrown
Is there a safe way to collide with another player running at full speed? I don't think it is any more brutal. I think you can go as far back as you want and find crushing tackles.
With all the rules put in place over the past 10 years concerning player safety, especially "targeting" in 2013, the hits were more brutal before 2013 than they are now.
This is why I would never want to be a receiver - sometimes you know a freight train is about to hit you as soon as you make the catch, but you have to concentrate on the catch. At least running backs usually see it coming and can hit back hard.
