Anyone think Auburn might try to cripple Dak?

Honestly, I'm much more worried about Ole Miss trying to intentionally hurt Dak.

They've gotten into a fight with Memphis apparently for returning a kickoff and then they had the guy that kicked Ken Yan Drake last week. Among other things.

Like Florida in 1992, they know that if they cripple Dak, they might not get out of Starkville alive. However, they might also believe they can make the NCAA Playoff with one loss.

Honestly, I don't remember Florida taking Sleepy out. What I remember was Sleepy made a cut and then his leg went out. I don't think it was a dirty play, but I haven't seen video of it either.

Wow. I think this is a HUGE stretch. You have to anticipate nobody is trying to hurt people on purpose.

No, I remember watching it. The Florida player went straight at his knees. Later, I read where that player say, "I GOT HIM!"

LSU tried to rip his head off.

He's still trucking linebackers.

Isn't Melvin getting a retirement check from the state?

Did anybody besides me think Qualen Cunningham tried to take Dak out on the first drive of the game Saturday? I've watched the replay several times and he launches the top of his helmet straight into Daks chin, it wasn't even close to being a legal hit.

they're aware of it I'm sure. that's why the kid was ejected. I think they're going to protect players. That's why day was suspended, and maybe rightfully so... just hate that other kids are doing more and worse and getting away with it because no one whined about it.

I do believe Melvin was not given a choice to stay. He was asked to find another job by Mullen.

I don't think the coaching staff will order it and I don't know if a Auburn Defender will try it but I know one thing watching the A & M game that helmet to helmet hit was an attempt by that guy. His intent was to hurt Dak. No doubt in my mind.

that's my understanding as well.

The refs will protect him when he is in the pocket but if he is running the ball then there really isn't a such thing as unnecessary roughness
