Osborne hit clip?

Not yet. I was pretty disappointed that they didn't have it in the "Hits of the Game" at the stadium either. I realize that the hit occurred later in the game, but COME ON! That hit was Nasty!

 
It's in the highlights. Look at 2:54.

Looks clean to me.

EDIT: that should have been a fumble recovery for a TD.
Squeaky clean. Hard to see this drawing a suspension, IMO.
Weren't we saying this last week? Martin's hit was "cleaner" than this as Osborne clearly contacts Gabbert's helmet with his own helmet.
I disagree. Some angles made it look like Martin's helmet was the first part of his body that made contact with the victim. Also, Martin had several aggravating factors not present here:

1) He left his feet to make the hit

2) The player never saw him coming

3) He flexed/celebrated after making the hit

4) He was seen laughing about something on the sideline

5) They victim was down on the carpet for a long time

Now, I personally think all of these factors are irrelevant and should not have resulted in a suspension. But to old men in suits who feel compelled to show they are not going to be soft on "vicious hits," these factors were more than enough to pull the trigger.

More importantly, none of those factors are present for Osborne's hit.

But it's a QB.

But he had the football, the player in Martin's hit didn't have the football..

Maybe this has been answered before, but I missed it if it has been.. Since there is no appeal process in the Big 12 or no committee or anything, just Beebe, is it possible to appeal suspensions to the NCAA, especially if he's suspended for that this week after what happened with Martin last week?
