    No....he was celebrating the big play. On the pick six he sprinted the length of the field celebrating.
    He was on him after the incomplete pass on the sidelines that was reviewed. Right in front of me in stadium

    That was very close to an amazing catch by that Kentucky player. If the play had been ruled a catch from the beginning, I don't think they would overturn it.

    But yeah, celebrating on or over an inured player is not cool.

    Can’t take anything that anyone says seriously until it’s in ink. General rule in life.

    I thought for a second the kentuckian might still catch the ball that McClean knocked down

    Apparently, he does not know the defense well enough yet, but his man to man skills are legit.

    He was beat. And made a spectacular play. I wish we had guys who got beat like that recover like that... Not naming any safeties or anything.

    We don’t need any unsportsmanlike or shoe throwing though

    Yeah, and that penalty didn't mean squat because the game was over. However, some people here are trying to compare that USLC to the shoe toss... Lol...

    It's also hard to get an un-sportsman like conduct penalty these days. I mean, some kids are grinding and twerking in the end zones after TDs and not getting penalties.

    But in a tight game it would have been different. This game was long over ... not the same thing.

    Watching the replay and McClain was very active in tackling and run defense

    Yes, my point was that he wasn't a regular for most of the year and lost playing time

    Do you think their weights will change by osmosis?

    I saw one play right after his pick where the receiver in front of him ran a crossing route, and he just let him go. Maybe someone else was supposed to pick him up, but he was wide open. Fortunately the QB over threw him.

    I don’t think it’s about knowing the defense. I think he needs to go to class and put in the work and show up on time. Also he needs to be able to fight through blocks and make tackles at 160 pounds.

    Yes, but we do run a complex defense and he is up to 175 now.

    Especially since he's a DB just like Neon was!
