lol @ FSU fans bitching about this STILL. How far your once-mighty program has fallen. Pathetic.
Tell Christian Ponder I said "get well soon." Can't wait to see him again next year. Hopefully McDaniel will come back and point to him before he breaks his other shoulder.
All you bitter FSU fans need to stop wining about one missed call...that didn't have any impact on the game 40-24. If it was that big of a deal Dabo Swinney would have suspended him because Clemson has more class than that unlike Free Shoes U
Clemson is one of the dirtiest programs there is you fucking dumb shit. Hey lets get in a team fight with South Carolina. Clemson is nothing but ghetto niggers I use to live there i know you are just bitter because your team sucks and will always suck. you team (Spiller) is leaving next years sorry your team is going to suck next year and My team is going to be better and beat the shit out of you and yabo dabo doo doo
He was holding him back from getting to the fumble...an obvious clean play. Spikes' play doesn't even compare to this, as evidenced by the fact Brandon spikes suspended himself and neither of these players thought anything of it...
Also, I agree with andrew7603... had either one of these teams been ranked high, it probably would've been a much bigger deal. Still, great win for the tigers! We can just assume FSU had some dirty plays of their own, a disgusting way to clear our conscience!
wow... i doubt it was a eye-gouge, but definitely unnecessary. I'm a huge Clemson fan, and agree that at the very least, it should've been a penalty. The speed with which it happened and the position of the hands seems to show that his fingers weren't in the helmet. But still... what a retarded play. If you're sitting on the guy, he's not going to get the ball. Why bend him backwards???
You are a racist idiot, he was holding him back from getting to the ball on the fumble. If you ever played football you would know that. There is no need to bring race into it either.
mr tigerflip ur an iodiot he pulls his head back with 2 hands and puts his hands in the maske stop trying to defend ur player if it happened to CJ spiller u would go crying to ur moomy about wawawaw u wont admit it cuz u r a pussy
If you watch close, he was diving for the ball. His hand/finger seems to get stuck in the facemask. He did remove them with authority, but sorry guys....no eye gouge.
Seems to me that he's just trying to hold him away from the ball. Pulling on the helmet, maybe. But eye gouging? No way. This is the ACC, not thug league. Example SEC....South Carolina and Tennessee.
@unlinkedthunder It's not there cause both of these teams suck. If either one was worth a damn, say maybe #1 and the defending national champ, then the media would be all over this. But I guess the media figures why shit on a team that is already shit. You know?
Wow....I dont think anyone posting has played football at any level..I cant even tell with this camera angle if he ever touched his eyes if so...WOW....ITs Football!
The play isn't over until the whistle blows so I'm not quite sure what your are saying. There doesn't exist a still image that can show his fingers reaching through the facemask. You are drawing a conclusion without actual photographic evidence that shows fingers reaching through. I've seen the blown up still shot with which you refer and it doesn't back up your claim. More than likely the Clemson player is pulling on the facemask. Again, this is a face mask penalty during the play.
with his left hand, yes he is clearly pulling up. its his right hand that people are talking about. its not clear at all, but you can't cay definitively that its not. his hands clearly go to the face in an attempt to harm, he should receive the same punishment spikes did. And even if it was "during the play", its away from the ball. no reason for him to be messing with him at all.
Wow, some of you really have active imaginations. That isn't an eye gouge. Be truthful...can you see #40 sticking his fingers through the facemask and attempting to poke the FSU player's eyes? Or, do you see #40 pulling back his helmet. He has his hand on the facemask and is pulling back. He isn't poking through the facemask. Some of you need to quit whinning about something that NEVER happened. I will agree that this is a facemask penalty and thus a 15 yard personal foul.
it's not a face mask penalty.....the play is over. it's a personal foul......and there is a still image that demonstrates beyond any doubt that the four fingers on his right hand are poked into the kid's face mask. he may be "pulling back on his helmet" with his left hand, but he comes from underneath with his right hand.
Trust me, that play is not going in #99s highlight reel. Hudson was much stronger coming off the line and then promptly deposited him on his ass. Anytime a d-lineman is picking himself up off the ground its not a good thing.
Wasn't a eye gouge but he did pull back on the helmet. Quit whining about it fsu fans if it was a eye gouge I am sure that it would have already been brought up by the FSU coaching staff. You can clearly see that he just pulled back on his helmet which should have been a 15 yard penalty but it is over and we won so who cares.
Again, good luck with that, dork! My guess is you're a woman or just a bitch. Which one is it. Uh-oh! I guess I've crossed the line now, go ahead and tell your mom.
Dude, you are a complete dork. Hypersensitive about a facemask, yet willing to fight over it being pointed out that you're a bitch. If you're not a bitch quit acting like one, internet tough guy!
Andre Branch needs to be suspended for this cowardly act! If this kind of thing continues to go unpunished, they all will try to get by with it. #40 is a COWARD!!! I guess he was watching Gaytors vs Georgia and learned from Spikes. What a Joke he is. I just hope the NFL was watching, and not willing to take a risk on the guys character.

Watch the best offensive gaurd in America, #62 Rhodney Hudson workin' over big #99.
As far as the helmet grabbing thing, it definitely was a dirty move but I cant say I see an eye gouge.
jacque316 2 years ago
99 filled the gap where the play was suppose to go. He forced the RB to juke thus causing him to fumble. I would not call this "working him over."

#40 gouges David Spurlock's eyes on this play. Just as bad as Brandon Spikes. If he isn't suspended you should be embarassed.
