If anyone checked it out, One of my fav comments was

I wish I would have been able to read/reply to it live would have asked about the Nehemie Kankolongo hit.

Down towards the bottom - http://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/2eatwy/we_are_two_ncaa_officials_referees_ama/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

when a stadium replay board CLEARLY shows that a call was a bad call , shouldn't there be some ability to reverse the call?

The ref gives a really good breakdown of defenseless player hit vs helmet to helmet etc.

Funny how at real time the commentators thought it was a terrible hit too until they saw the replay.

His motion throwing his arms up made it appear as he launched himself, Same with Kankolongo hit. Difference being Kankolongo did make contact with one of them with his helmet so his was deserving. Now the MWC suspended Kankolongo for a game after the fact which I felt was pretty questionable.

Anyway was pretty cool to see some of the responses and questions.

Kanko's hit did have helmet to helmet, but it was not intentional. He blew up the blocker and pushed up higher into the ball carrier. In my opinion, it was a clean hit because it was non-intentional. If he had launched himself into the returner, then yes, it was a dirty hit. But if you watch the replays out there, he hit the blocker first and was deflected into the returner.
