The Oklahoman: 'The dirtiest hit we'll see all season.' OU football QB Dillon Gabriel out vs. TCU. Twitter says?

I hope he is and gets his bell rung again. He'll be the next Troy Aikman.

Some years ago, I remember reading something about Steve DeBerg, asked to rank the Top 10 hits he took during his career in the NFL. He carefully listed 10-6 with names and dates. As for 5-1, he said, "I don't remember."

This is a violent sport and when you step on that field, that's what you get. Gotta make sure you protect yourself as best you can.

This would imply he is smart and fast thinking?

That was before he got crushed. Now maybe he will be even smarter than before and not try that again.

I don’t know what you guys are seeing but I saw nothing wrong or manipulative about the slide…especially the way some of these officials are spotting slides now. Kid wanted to get as far as he could. No problem with that. That said…sliding is for baseball and Dak Prescott with time running out. If you’re gonna run the ball…run the ball.

See it every week. Was it a good thing to see, no. The worst, hardly. Guys are pretty much a cruise missile at that point. Hard to alter the course. I guess his point is that OU has never ever done anything dirty…

Dirty is the OU OL a few years back who literally stomped on our guy.

in Norman? Yep I remember that bs

Who can forget this one:

I'm no expert but I have looked at that play from every angle. No way the defender can be expected to tackle or not tackle in that instant at that speed. If the QB waits that late to slide he deserves what he gets. The rule provides him protection, if he chooses to abuse it he pays the consequences.

Unnecessary roughness is a proper call but disqualification is too much. The QB baited the defender into the penalty but couldn't continue to play. Not smart.

That's a no call. Plain and simple. It's football. Hodge is flying at the ball carrier. Already committed to hitting him low as Gabriel went into slide.

I was telling the guy sitting next to me the same thing. Now that guy was a freek'n thug. In our guy's defense he had already started his tackle when Gabrial started his slide. That wasn't targeting. The guy on tv said he thought it was borderline but the refs have to call it.
