Mike Pereira: I would eject Jadeveon Clowney for that hit.

[SubZeroDegrees]

SB Nation's Steven Godfrey, who's at Big 12 Media Days alongside Fox Sports' noted officiating guru, Mike Pereira, says Pereira told him he would've tossed Clowney as well, due to his leading with his crown.

Pereira's quotes while watching the play with Godfrey:

"When you look at the play by the NFL rules of the runner vs. the tackler, I think it would be [an ejection]. That's where the danger lies. You take what's perceived to be a great play and it turns into a penalty and an ejection."

"Remember that the only thing that has changed in the rule in college is that the penalty now carries an ejection with it. The rule itself has not changed. The NFL added verbiage about the runner and tackler, but not in college. It was already addressed in the college rule."

Football is dying, brehs.

That running back was like 5 foot nothing, how else was big ass Clowney supposed to hit him? Hit him right in his chest too so I don't see the problem.

Got people that never played the game judging how you supposed to make a tackle

Peirera is an idiot. There is nothing intentional about that hit. These fools are literally trying to take hitting out of football.
Two hand touch is coming to college football

He's taller than the runner what could he do ?!! Not make a play on the ball and just wrap him up ?

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

That's a perfect fukking form tackle....he's 6'6" 275... just what the fukk is he supposed to do? let the runner run past him, and then try to drag him down?

all these fakkit ass rules are gonna lead to is people going for kill shots cause they know they'll get ejected for bullshyt calls so they might as well make it count.

Thank you !! That leaves him with no options

He's an idiot. That hit was as clean as you can get in that situation. Unless we start making the defense count to 7 Mississippi before they can cross the line of scrimmage...

That hit was beautiful I hate how now these would be tacklers are now expected to be on some "Matrix slow down time" bs while they pinpoint an ok area to hit the ball carrier

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

Here we go.

 

[Da_Eggman]

its ironic that espn has show that hit maybe everyday for the past year

blaming the NFL when its the media that sensationalized hard hits instead of clean tackles
