No matter how much is dislike F$U, we don't need this in football. The Citadel players that participated should be indefinitely suspended by the NCAA.
Agreed. There needs to be a zero-tolerance policy for this sort of thing.
Absolutely disgusting.
When a player publicly admits to something like this, I don't see how a coach can NOT punish in some way.
"too bad someone didn't get Winston's"
And that should go for the comments like the one above also

As much as I may hate The Barn or The Criminals. it's really disappointing to see a player say this, I hope the idiot is never allowed to play another college game ever again..
The coach's statement, "I have addressed the matter with Victor and he will be disciplined accordingly."
The cut blocks are legal in some situations, but I don't like them. Supposedly Citadel players were going high/low on FSU kids, which is illegal and dangerous, though the refs did not call it.

UCLA is another dirty team that does things like this. I recommend never scheduling them. They took cheap shots at our QB last year and injured him.
Too bad someone didn't get [the name of your quarterback]'s knee. Now what would you think? Intentionally attempting to injure another team's QB or other players on their team is an unforgiveable offense. Players that do this (as long as it's proved by video tape) should be banned from football for the entire year and put on some kind of blacklist so that no one forgets who they are.
I played when this was legal and it's not a pretty site to see this happen to a fellow teammate. Personally, I do not see this as something to brag about.
Legal? Yes.
Triple option teams don't tend to block like that anymore, though. They tend to go for the legs, not specifically the knees. Big difference.
The blocking style described is legal. Taking any action with the intent to injure another player is not within the rules or spirit of college football. One of the few areas, in my opinion, where the ncaa has any jurisdiction or business. But should be their first order of business.
I agree with your post but I still can never forgive ya'll for letting the barn beat you in 2010. LOL
The Coach's name is Houston and he previously coached at my alma mater Lenoir Rhyne (DII) who have ran the triple option to great success for several years. I am not sure if the player's comment regarding going for the knees means they were one-on-one blocking low as is typical and taught in the triple....or if he meant they were going high/low with two blockers which is obviously against the rules and very dangerous.
I believe it was the former which is legal, but he should have kept his mouth shut.
