People have their own real life issues and serious things to deal with outside of football. Unless we know his story, we can't judge.
He'll be grilled about it by pro teams in interviews. Hope he can articulate that situation properly, because I'm on board with you on one thing: It was NOT a good look.
One thing about that hit, and I'm not a coach or an expert, but keep your head up or you're gonna end up paralyzed.
You know what he would tell me? "I've kept my head up and been thrown out of ball games for it"

Video literally has almost 140k views and the entire comment section from mostly sensible people is filled with "That call was garbage"
That was one of the greatest blocks in the history of college football, and not only that, the defender was close enough to Kenny Bell to dispel the myth that he wasn't close enough to Turner to at least trip him up. Gerry's penalty and Bell's penalty were both horrible.
