USC Game

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.
For every coach that thinks we got it wrong there's another that thinks we got it right.
