I never knew the context of that play for a long time. What made that hit and fumble so sweet was the fact the previous play was one of the most blatantly corrupt officiating calls I've ever seen in giving Michigan a first down. Clowney just lined up and said, "fine, I'll get it back myself."
@@haroldfarquad6886 I watched that game live when it happened. I had no horse in the race but after what the refs did to SC i was hyped af when Clowney made that play.
@@macabree5856 that Taylor mays hit was definitely huge. I think the thing that solidifies clowneys hit as hardest to me is that he’s hitting through the RBs midsection. That’s hard af to hit someone so hard in the center of their mass and demolish them like that. A lot of hits like the Wisconsin/Nebraska crack back, that Taylor mays hit etc is they’re up high and the dude getting hit just slingshots backwards. Plus clowneys listed at 274 in college that’s a shit ton of force going full speed through someone 😂 another hit I love in the nfl is when Reggie bush gets destroyed on a swing pass vs the eagles. Can’t remember the eagles defender who hit him but he blew bush up
They are and I think its because of the major differences in skill level. You've got newbs from psychology class vs top NFL prospects playing football. A little bit of an exaggeration, but you get my point..
Commenting because this is such a good video. All truly big hits I haven't seen 10 times in other videos before, good quality, well edited, nice replays, no annoying music or ads. ☺☺☺☺
“Boom! That’s football” 😂😂😂 dude on the ground someone’s son fresh outta high school just gasping for air with 5 cracked ribs piercing his lungs hahahahaha
Mixture of adrenaline and showmanship like trying to make it seem like it didn't hurt. I'm sure a lot of us have bluffed like something didn't hurt knowing damn well that shit hurt like hell lol.
This one I really liked! This hard hitting was what I was taught during JR Highschool '79-'81. I was small but, I saw smaller guys in the NFL make big hits so I decided I could do it too. I would launch myself at guys twice my body weight and take them down, that's football! I was a Chiefs fan but, the Raiders had a smaller defensive guy named Ronnie Lott that I tried to base myself on. He ended up joining the Chiefs and broke his leg during preseason and never played an actual game for us but, he was my favorite defensive player, he flat out laid the wood to people!
If you thought Ronnie Lott was a good hitter, you woulda loved watching this junior high school kid Tommy Chew tackle players. This boy was sendin'm to the ER on the reg. We called him... "the ambulance whisperer" because one would have to show up every game. i don't know whatever happened to that boy. Probably ended up in prison. He just loved to hurt people.
Everyone who played an actual career of this style, now has CTE and horrific mood issues and suicide or memory loss is a serious concern. You're lucky you were a scrub that could only play football for a couple years in high school, or you wouldn't be glorifying this kind of hitting. Destroys mens brains and their ability to be a normal father and family member after a career of playing like this. Rob Gronkowski isn't even 40 yet and he's basically a vegetable
@@turkey4957 Guess I'm just old school, I joined the Marine Corps, and my mentality helped me to be able to push myself harder and do things most wouldn't even attempt. There is a need for all outlooks, the ones that won't put themselves out there and the ones that will. Brains fine and I raised four kids. Now when we played tackle football with no pads during pick your choice PT I did ease up.
CTE is no joke. The NFL should invest a billion into CTE proof helmets to protect investments. These young kids are getting stronger and stronger and hit hard AF.
Definitely should include Nigel Bradham (FSU) hit against LaRon Byrd (Miami). Originally called targeting because it looked so brutal, but was later retracted by the officials head office post-game. Nasty, but clean hit.
This is the way footballs should be played!!!!! Defense means don't take a risk or you can get the pain. Today's game is all about offense. They are not scared to come down the middle because they know they'll get the distance and the penalty. F that! Light em up I say!
There was a time when I was much younger that I would have thought this was awesome. Now I can't imagine thinking these kinds of hits were ever entertaining.
Today's football is girlie!! No targeting, no head shots, no clotheslines, no spearing, no bump and run, no Fred Williamson "hammer" blows, no late hits, no tripping. Bring back the REAL MEN OF THE 60s!!
"D.J. Swearinger hitting Andre Ellington" I watch a lot of NFL but not a lot of college football so it's always surreal to see clips of players of people who went on to have full NFL careers squaring off against each other
NO HIT here can possibly top the CLOWNEY trainwreck! The two hits that supposedly top it are both on Quarterbacks and the defensive guys have running starts to just tee off. Clowney has NO running start, he just explodes off the line. He not only dislocates the RB from his helmet but forces the fumble AND recovers it. Plus it was a crucial play in a big bowl game that literally happened right after South Carolina had clearly stopped Michigan on a 4th down. The chains came out and the nose of the ball was nowhere near the 1st down but the ref gave it to Michigan anyway, although it was shown clearly on TV. So it was an incredible hit that was also a game-changing and game-winning play.
1:10 gotta respect the qb. Huge hit, get's up and almost makes the tackle despite probably seeing double.
Yes indeed
one tough MF
Came here to say this. He has earned my respect.
Literally came straight to the comments after seeing that lol
im genuinely mind blown
“YOU GOT BBQ BACK THERE? AND DIDNT INVITE ME?! HURT MA FEELINGS!”😂😂😂☠️
one of the greatest commentator quotes 😂
Iconic. Gus Johnson is the man.
“Looks like he was shot with a elephant gun” on the first one 😂
eric collins the goat. Charlotte legend
They allow them to hit shoulder to chest.
The play by Clowney against Michigan might be the greatest defensive play I’ve ever seen.
Right?? He was like a second away from just taking the handoff directly from the qb
Single play he’s living off of. Hasn’t lived up to the hype in NFL.
100% agree

1:13 announcer says "You don't want that smoke" and then the VT qb gets absolutely drilled
He's in tune with the culture
I saw that final hit on Rising in person, heard it from 70 yards away. That man is a warrior, came up laughing about it. Gotta love football.
That hit on Cam Rising was brutal to see in-person. The whole stadium exploded when that hit happened.
Hell yeah, SUU!
Yeah I was there aswell
That hit was crazy for sure.
we still won tho
Cam Rising's long flowing locks makes that something else.
He deserved to get laid out just for havin that hairdo tbh
@@GORILLA_PIMP that hairdo went on to demolish the southern crybabies afterwards
College football has brutal hits compared to NFL
They let the boys play down there. NFL has to protect its investments lol.
Because most watch their blind spots. College is more inexperienced
Back before they changed up the rules high school football practice used to be crazy 😂
No way bro
College players are tryna make it big, nfl players tryna last and roll in doe
That clowney hit will always rain supreme as the hardest in cfb. Something ridiculous would have to happen to top that

@@macabree5856 facts brother. Back before EVERYTHING was a flag 🙄
Even better with the first down fiasco that happened right before the hit
biggest ball don't lie play in the history of sports
yeah, it will be very hard to surpass what clowney did. i love how he snagged the ball with his left paw after causing the fumble too
These hits hurt more than stubbing my toe 💀
That first one never fails to crack me up.
"OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!"
these hits seem more brutal than the nfl, and there are no penalties! crazy...
They are and I think its because of the major differences in skill level. You've got newbs from psychology class vs top NFL prospects playing football. A little bit of an exaggeration, but you get my point..
This is over years span though, you could make the same video with NFL hits x100
@@michaelayeni177 CC. B C C
It is college kids... of course, the hits are more brutal compared to the NFL. Collage pride is on the line!
There were plenty of penalties on those hits, but the way this video is edited, glorifies the hit instead of chastising it.
Commenting because this is such a good video. All truly big hits I haven't seen 10 times in other videos before, good quality, well edited, nice replays, no annoying music or ads. ☺☺☺☺
5:25 might be the scariest hit on a kicker ever
Clowneys tackle gets me every time, damn 😮
Looking at brock purdy take that hit like a champ 6:24 now look at him on the road to e super bowl rookie year so inspirational
now hes in the super bowl.
College hits are fucking brutal. All of the strength of nfl players but without the form blocking/tackling is a crazy combo
“Boom! That’s football” 😂😂😂 dude on the ground someone’s son fresh outta high school just gasping for air with 5 cracked ribs piercing his lungs hahahahaha
Imagine celebrating after laying out a dude that isn't looking at you 😂
Favorite line of all season
You got BBQ back there and you didn't invite me lmaoo
Great video. Well done.
Wow, Really Surprised about this video, congrats on making a great video
You got bbq back there?! And didn't invite me?!? Hurt! My! Feelings!!😂
2:16 "You got bbq back there? and you didn't invite me?" will forever be one of my favorite calls in all of sports history
Im kinda surprised that some of them manage to immediately get back up after taking these hits
You know they have brain damage though
Mixture of adrenaline and showmanship like trying to make it seem like it didn't hurt. I'm sure a lot of us have bluffed like something didn't hurt knowing damn well that shit hurt like hell lol.
Great vid!
Isn’t 3:19 pass interference? J me or what
Not playing the ball, leading with the helmet 😂
I was thinking the same thing since the ball hits him in the back as he's making the hit.
should be but i think this was over 10 years ago
1:14-He don’t want that smoke
“Oh what a hit”😂😂😂
That Utah quarterback pac 12 championship hit was crazy watching live.
fire vid bro
Crazy at 5:20 that blindside block would be so taboo today but the announcers are calling a dude getting killed a football play back then

1:13 you don’t want that smoke 😂🤣💨
I love the plays!
4:23 that one was like a hockey hit bro body checked him 😂
That Kenny bell hit was crazy!!!
Nahhh, that kenny bell block is still to this day the hardest hit ive ever seen live. That shit was crazy mf got cremated😭😭😭😭
CTE is no joke. The NFL should invest a billion into CTE proof helmets to protect investments. These young kids are getting stronger and stronger and hit hard AF.
Love it. Talk about getting your sinuses cleared.
“He don’t want that smoke OH WHAT A HIT!!”
Damn that first one I was expecting Jim Ross to yell spear spear omg he's been broken in half.
Lmao that kicker got Blasted 🤣
The moment you realize that Lawrence Taylor's whole highlight-reel consists of every last one of these.
3:00 make sure you don't play on an empty stomach, so that you can barf your food up later like this guy did 😂
5:58 Legend has it he’s still buried there.
“That’s football what is he supposed to do” just spoke volumes for the entire nfl
These hits are on point by the defense. Goodness
There’s a reuben foster kickoff tackle that was huge too
hey really good video what is the song at the beginnig and the end of the video?
you are the best

I love how players get all hyped by hitting someone who doesn't get a chance to brace themselves...
I still get chills every time I see that hit from Clowney.
That beat you got at the beginning is tough
At 5:50 he sitting there like WTF! He had to register what had just happened. 😂
Nah bro he was knocked tf out 😭🤣
@@CHIMP156 word up 😭🤣🤣
Didn’t he die from that hit
The guy who got hit on the blocked punt totally had a concussion, you could see him wobbling and then just collapsing.
That was a field goal lol
But yeah that hit was brutal
That Clowney hit is my favorite one of all time
This is the way footballs should be played!!!!! Defense means don't take a risk or you can get the pain. Today's game is all about offense. They are not scared to come down the middle because they know they'll get the distance and the penalty. F that! Light em up I say!
Literally "Foaming and Drooling"!
I remember the Clowney one like it was yesterday!!!
There was a time when I was much younger that I would have thought this was awesome. Now I can't imagine thinking these kinds of hits were ever entertaining.
3:45 got hit soo hard the ball is still spinning 🤣
Something about that Clowney play just sticks out to me above all others.
Probably cuz right after he just casually reaches over an picks up the ball with one hand like hes grabin a wrench lmfao
KENNY BELL!!! TURNER!!! TOUCHDOWN NEBRASKA. THATS THE BEST BLOCK WEVE SEEN ALL YEAR!!! That dude got absolutely LEVELED.
And absolutely agree with the announcer that should never have been flagged.
lol brock purdy getting lit up even in random youtube videos today
What's the intro song? I have it in my head but can't think of it
Bro can you do “off by an inch” where if the way one more yard they would’ve got the td/ points
QBs signing death warrants for their own receivers. Good lord!
SCar with two! Nice.
I was wondering if the Wisconsin Nebraska game would be in here. That shit was nasty
Unfortunately, Taylor Martinez & that hit were our only highlights.
Today's football is girlie!! No targeting, no head shots, no clotheslines, no spearing, no bump and run, no Fred Williamson "hammer" blows, no late hits, no tripping. Bring back the REAL MEN OF THE 60s!!
“Shot with an elephant gun”😂0:35
Nah the Utah one going in the books for sure, called it when I saw the game immediately
1:50 has got to be one of my favouriute tackles of all time.
Hornets announcer took me by surprise in the first clip.
College football hits are NOT getting "increasingly more brutal". College and pro football has ALWAYS been brutal
Where did you find that beat in the beginning ✅✅?
"D.J. Swearinger hitting Andre Ellington"
I watch a lot of NFL but not a lot of college football so it's always surreal to see clips of players of people who went on to have full NFL careers squaring off against each other
Keep it up Highlight Reel
Neurosurgeon money printer right here
John Metchie will maybe forever have my favorite tackle/hit by a wide receiver.
Vicious hit. Crazier in slow motion lol
Mine will forever be Kenny Bells
5:46 buddy was lost
bruh that kid in the Cody prewitt hit is me😭
Last video was the best. Dude was in absolute pain. Luckily, adrenaline kicked in.
Rugby players everywhere "hold my beer"
That dude getting hit at 1:30 good on him for being so quick to get up and try for the tackle impressive
These hits are amazing! This is the kind of stuff I want to see on each and every play. Big hits should be rewarded, not penalized.
Get hit like that yourself each and every play reason why your watching you could never.
6:11 whaaat heee saaayyy??!
Cam rising one is funny af
what collage football year was this
could watch that hit on cam rising all day long
that schooler hit is legendary wreckem
I don't know if anything will beat the hit Lewis Cine had on Kyle Pitts had a few years back. Absolutely laid him out.
If 90% of these hits were in the nfl they’d be flagged
This shit used to be civilized.
Full credit to those players who got straight up after being hit like it didn't phase them at all.
Signs of CTE don't show up immediately.
@@rustyshackle917 fair point. I hadn't thought about that
Chris Collinsworth once said he got up to show that he's tough, then in the huddle said " damn that hurts don't throw to me for awhile"
