    No chit. It's like he saw Loston coming and just decided to stand up taller for the hit...

    Brutal.

    I think at some point 3 years ago, the players got together and drew random names from Mississippi State's roster to target for their playing career. Poor Zach Smith...the rest is history :hihi:. At least he'll be remembered for something now

    I can only find it on one of their fan boards, but after a little research, I was able to find out that his concussion issue isn't limited to playing LSU. He was held out of some games last year due to "too many concussions".

    It ain't worth it...someone needs to make sure he never steps on the field of battle again.

    Wow. No chit. I feel terrible for the dude. He obviously loves the game - you don't play on the kicking team unless you love football. But he needs to prioritize the rest of his life if this is true. As you said - ain't worth it.

    Looked like Loston led with the crown of his helmet. Pretty sure that's supposed to be a penalty. If it put this kid out of football for good, I'd expect it to draw the attention of the SEC. I think all conferences are supposed to video review all "dangerous helmet contact," even when no flag was thrown.

    Oh man, I feel bad for that kid. Of course, I also just made a fresh batch of popcorn so I can watch both of those clips 20 more times!

    :popcorn:
