Yea it turns, cause that is where Turner is. Your arguement about this is the most foolish thing I may have ever heard. Are you the Elmo puppeteer? Haha...so he's running with his head looking out in front of or at Turner and then turns his head sharply to the left at the same instant that Bell's helmet hits him in the head? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

I took physics and passed. Let's look at Newton's second law of motion: The acceleration of a body is parallel and directly proportional to the net force acting on the body, is in the direction of the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass m of the body, i.e., F = ma. In other words...the acceleration of Kenny Bell's helmet was parallel and directly proportional to the net force of Smith's head going to the left just before Bell's shoulder hits him in the chest. And HuKSer...you're right, the tilt of the helmet is to the right in a " / " direction because Bell hit him in the chin with his helmet - making helmet-to-helmet contact. Again, this example is simple...face forward, take your right hand and push against your right jaw with your fist...you head turns to te left and tilts to the right...more physics involved here. Unnecessary roughness. Offense #80. 15 yards from the spot of the foul. First down.

I thank you for providing conclusive evidence that you are wrong. Top row middle column, the two parallel lines on the vic's helmet aim to the right of the 0 on his jersey. If Bell hit helmet to helmet, the two parallel lines would move more to his right shoulder, but instead the lines point towards the 0 on his jersey. By the way I TEACH PHYSICS So tell me, then...what is causing Smith's helmet to move to the left? Bell's helmet catches Smith square in the jaw/mouth area of his helmet. And JTrain...so you're saying that it was helmet-to-helmet contact, just that the call of unncessary roughness should have been called a personal foul for helmet-to-helmet contact, correct?

Physics. Your screenshots prove nothing. Your conclusions from them are entirely speculative. Also, elementary statements such as "his head moves to the left" don't actually mean anything. Which part of his head? The top? The neck? The front? The Back? Which direction is left in a 3-dimensional space? You realize the skull is connected by a joint, right? So does his head rotate horizontally? Vertically? Somewhere in the middle? If I took that by it's literal definition it would mean that his entire skull shifted an indeterminate amount away from its previous location on top of his spinal column, which of course we know is impossible without him being dead and without defying the laws of physics. Well, the front of his head moved up and the back of his head moved down while his nose caved in and his ears fell off. They all moved in different directions which is clear from the pictures... pfffffffft...you guys are grasping at straws...3-dimensional space... Try this...stand up straight...keep your shoulders parallel with a wall in front of you. Now...move your head to the left...and now to the right...voila...your head moves in both directions and you're not dead.

You guys need to honestly ask yourselves this question... How does Smith's head move to the left before the force of Bell's shoulder hits him in the chest if there's no helmet-to-helmet contact? I suppose you'll tell me that Smith moved his head on his own and that the camera angle is bad. The proof is in those screenshots. There's not denying that Smith's head moved to the left BEFORE Bell's shoulder impacted his chest. Show me a better angle to prove to me that Bell did NOT lead with his head.

The angle that your pictures show from is a terrible angle. If you combine your photos with the other ones also posted you can clearly see that Bell is leading with his shoulder and his head is going to the right trying to avoid having a helmet to helmet. Your photos are not even close to being from the side where there is the best view of the situation. I'm not attacking you personally as I have seen some people on here, I'm simply stating the facts. The fact is, it was a solid hit that looked a lot worse than it actually was because of the fact that Smith didn't see it coming and he just got lit up. If you combine your pictures with the one that Landlord posted earlier, you can clearly see that there was no helmet to helmet contact at all. Bell lead with his shoulder and Smith wasn't looking which made it an unfortunate circumstance for him. So what you're saying is that between the time of the third column of screenshots that I posted and the pic that Landlord posted, Kenny Bell pulled his head back to the right to avoid helmet-to-helmet contact? You guys might be on to something with the whole Superhuman Kenny Bell thing...

Sorry for the delay guys...I've been busy with church and family activities all day today. So here is the breakdown of the helmet-to-helmet contact. In the first two photos of the top row, I've drawn a veritcal line to show where Bell's head is at just before impact. They are even in the first shot, but his head is out in front in the second screeshot. Bell's helmet is LEADING the shoulder. It's out in front and makes contact with Smith first. You can clearly see that Smith's head turns to the left just before the impact is made with Bell's shoulder both in the side view angle AND the endzone angle. By rule, this type of hit is illegal. The screenshot that you guys keep posting is AFTER Bell's shoulder hits Smith. His helmet hit Smith FIRST. Unnecessary roughness. Offense #80. 15 yards from the spot of the foul. First down.

Ask BIGREDIOWAN and Atbone95...I didn't bring it up.

Yes, I played college football, including against guys who now play in the NFL. Smith's head moves sharply to the left BEFORE Bell's shoulder hits him in the chest. There was helmet-to-helmet contact. That is a fact. On top of that, Bell could have bumped the guy with his hands which would have sent him sprawingly and unable to make the tackle. The only means to that end was not the devastating hit that Bell put on Smith. There were other, more necessary options.

What level of football did you guys play? Resumes please...show me your qualifications. I'm not bashing the Big Red here, guys. I went to the Nebraska-Michigan game in Lincoln. I'm just offering my two cents on the hit. Given the reaction by some on here, if I don't see something that is 100% in line with others all of a sudden I'm a troll? I haven't made any personal attacks, threatened anyone, or anything of the sort. Carry on...

You're going to want to take those off before you watch the replay again, bro. Helmet-to-helmet. If that was a hit on a Nebraska player, you'd want him lynched.

And what is Ben Cotton celebrating on that play with his one finger up in the air? I guess he didn't have enough fingers and toes to indicate the points differential in the game at that point being that it made the game 49-16.

That's the thing...he didn't just "block" the guy...he head hunted and made helmet-to-helmet contact with Smith before his shoulder plowed into Smith's chest. Watch the replay from the endzone angle...Smith's head moves sharply to the left BEFORE it goes forward from the impact of the shoulder to the chest. Unnecessary roughness. Offense #80. 15 yards from the spot of the foul. First down. Good call, ref.

I'm just making an observation about the Bell hit in the conference championship game and the hit on Bell in the Michigan State game. Apparently at least one moderator agrees with my take on the Michigan State hit... Kenny Bell could have easily prevented the guy from tackling Turner without delivering an unnecessary hit. That's all. And HuskerNationNick...you post an average of 14.8 times per day...not hatin' just sayin'...
