Watch: Tennessee offensive lineman pukes on the field, keeps playing anyways

No. 6 Tennessee offensive lineman Jeremiah Crawford was the only Volunteers player feeling sick Saturday.

In a viral tweet, he can be seen in the huddle vomiting and then staring down the defense while nodding his head as if taunting his opponents. There was no stoppage of play. It was football at its purest.

This dude pukes, while eyeing down his opponent, and nods, “hell yes, bring it on.”

While unorthodox, it seems like an effective strategy; defensive linemen opposite him would most likely be wary of getting face-to-face with a man that just spewed throw-up.

Per Pro Football Focus, No. 3 Alabama finished the game with one sack.
