I slowed the video down to 0.25 and it is questionable whether #53 had time to stop himself but his helmet was down which makes me question the motive.  

 
53 comes in with a hit well after Martinez is down.

44 has a hold of his leg and continues to twist it well after the whistle.

 Saw that during the game and mentioned it to my wife (who was watching the game with me). It appeared after Martinez was down completely, 44 held onto his leg and twisted his knee. It looked like he was trying to injury Martinez intentionally. Not the first time something like this happened in a game, but even as a competitor, you have to draw a line.

Oh hell yeah! #44 was definitely trying to cause an injury. Dirty football from a program that is traditionally one of the dirtiest in college football.

This seems like sour grapes. There is always extra stuff going on at the bottom of piles by both teams. Colorado didn’t seem more dirty than any other team we play, and their coach seemed gracious in victory. It’s too easy to punish a current team for the sins of the past.

If our players are caught on camera twisting knees I would expect some kind of disciplinary action.  I reaaaaalllly hate the whole “stuff happens in football.”  It happens only because we shrug It off with comments like that.  If players are held accountable for dirty actions like this it will stop or at least happen less.  Hell I think it already happens less than say 20 years ago just because of having access to every play and more cameras and whatnot.  Ultimately this is something th NCAA needs to start emphasizing since it puts players safety in limbo

Should never happen and I hope the staff asks the Pac-12 to review it.

People are tweeting at the Colorado player and I think that’s a bad look. It’s frustrating but don’t go after the guy on social media.

 
It seemed that the way several of our players reacted after tackles that they felt that Colorado was being dirtier than usual.... not sure who else noticed this.

 
#44 definitely twisted his leg leading to the injury. I never had reason to hate colorado since I started watching in 09, I definitely have reason now, puts them above Iowa in hatred for me.
