Looks like he may be okay.

 

[Army Husker]

Announcers are annoying me a little now...

HOLY sh#t... MEET ERIC MARTIN

Yeah and if he pulled that s*** in the NFL he would be about a hundred grand lighter inn the wallet. Only Miami condones that crap

Lighten up, Francis. That was a clean hit.

And this is a great example of why you cannot bench Niles. You gotta take the bad with the good. I just wish his bad games were less bad.

TO EVERYONE... that wasn't a cheap shot... learn to play football.

Yeah because if Martin doesn't make that block Niles doesn't score right....cheap shot.

 

[Touchdown Tommie]

Apparently you cannot hit someone in football anymore??

That Okie St. guy was out cold.

That wasn't targeting a defenseless player, but it was a helmet to helmet and should have been flagged.

It most certainly WAS targeting a defenseless player. Niles was 20 yards ahead and the defender was already slowing down.

I just watched the replay. Niles was behind them when the hit occurred.

 

[irafreak]

I hope the guy is okay, but really... take a little longer to get him off the field why don't you...

This is a BS comment. I'm a paramedic, you don't mess around with serious injuries and make them worse.

I'm in the medical field too and that's why hits like that irritate me. I have no problem with a guy blowing up a reciever trying to catch a ball...but that play was over.

 

[redout22]

14-6 game just like that. Now come on D

 

[whateveritis1224]

That looked like the guy was running down the field, need to get a different angle on it but it looked like it was just an ear hole hit that happens all the time. It wasn't malicious, just how Martin plays. Doesn't mean that someone needs to talk to him about that type of stuff.

 

[epocSoN]

Apparently you cannot hit someone in football anymore??

Guess not.

Lead with his shoulder.... player was still in the game... wasn't defenseless... .ran right into Eric.

Keep your head on a swivel and that stuff doesn't happen.

 

[Blackshirtsguru]

Ok play over, kid looks ok for the most part (Thank God). Now lets hold em Skers!

 

[Pasadena Husker]

nice coverage

 

[Hercules]

If an OSU player did that to one of our players, everyone on this board would be up in arms.

It was a cheap shot. It was completely irrelevant to the result of the play, the guy had stopped playing... I hope Bo rips into him.

TO EVERYONE... that wasn't a cheap shot... learn to play football.

It was a very hard hit, but by no means cheap. The guy shouldn't be out there if he can't protect himself on a kickoff. It's a totally different story on a pass downfield, but on a kickoff every player is "in the play." If Niles cuts that back and Martin doesn't make his block then we're griping at Martin for letting his guy tackle the ball carrier.

No way was that a cheap shot. Very hard, yes. But not cheap.

 

[Trendon]

I am completely against the concept of "defenseless player." I am sure we've all played the game - or been around the game - long enough to know two truisms:

1. Go 100% or get hurt

2. Play to the whistle
