Ref destroys South Carolina QB

Found October 20, 2008 on InGameNow:
PLAYERS: Stephen Garcia
TEAMS: South Carolina Gamecocks

Did anyone catch that there is a referee in the SEC that tackles better than 90% of college linebackers? This guy must have some distant relationship to Ed Hochuli. The play happened this past weekend in the LSU, South Carolina game when Gamecocks QB, Stephen Garcia, scrambled out of the pocket when out of nowhere he is decked by the umpire, Wilber Hackett Jr. Hackett clearly gives Garcia a forearm shiver that immediately sends him to the ground. It should also be noted that Hackett is a former linebacker at Kentucky.

  • SEC is so good defensively, even their refs hit hard.

  • WTH was the ref doing though. Watching the video he purposely put himself in the position to have to make the tackle.

  • Ive never ever seen anything like that in my life... if you watch the video you can clearly see the ref stalking the quaterback than you clearly see him setting him self up for the hit and he actually puts his full weight into the hit.. is there any dought that this guy should be fired at once... seriously there is nothing worse than a bad ref..WAIT yes there is a dirty one.. GO CANES!!!

  • Clearly this guy had a Nam flash back! He played OLB for years, I think his mind and body just made the hit. I'm not too upset with him it was a brain fart.

South Carolina QB Stephen Garcia gets tackled by the referee

Via Sports Crackle Pop  |  October 20, 2008
Now I am sure this was purely accidental, but in Saturday night's ESPN game South Carolina's Stephen Garcia was scrambling out fo the pocket when the umpire steps up and delivers a shoulder. Watching it in slow motion makes it look even more intentional.
