The hit on Moore to cause the fumble was straight on his helmet, so brutal and awful, was hard to watch. Then of course ESPN replayed it umpteen times as the one notable highlight of the game. Gross

The unfortunate thing is it did not appear to be helmet to helmet...looked like shoulder pad to helmet, which is legal...unfortunate play for Moore, who looks so good...great feet for a big guy.

But you just can't put the ball on the turf there.

Yeah it was not technically illegal, was shoulder to helmet. But seeing Moore in pain after the play, his teammates tending to him, gave me a bit of the taste in my mouth that I had seeing Best get his brains scrambled against Oregon State (though not as bad as that).

Btw, I donтАЩt blame Moore for that fumble at all. The direct hit to the head basically froze his central nervous system. Not sure what he was supposed to do there, but I accept impossibility as a complete defense

And the concussion of Remigio was pain to watch as well.
