Title: USC Game
Post by: JasonTX on September 12, 2010, 02:49:30 PM
Did any one see what happened in the final 4 seconds on the kickoff in the USC game last night?  A player was DQ'd and I didn't see what happened.

I didn't see it either, but if it was Unsporstmanlike conduct as the announcer said, the USC player must have spit on an opponent.  I can't think of another UNS that disqualifies a player (unless he's already been called for UNS earlier).

You can hear the referee announce it as flagrant personal foul.  Must have been a punch or something in the pile.  Appears that #40 was the guilty player.

Your right Jason it was a flagrant personal foul by R40 who therefore disqualified himself - you can't actually see what he did but I surmise by his action that he may have dived into the pack head first. He is 5th from the bottom at the start of the kick.
