OT - Brutus the Buckeye experiences perfect form tackle

Submitted by Butterfield on

You have to give credit where credit is due, and the opening clip in today's yahoo sports minute sees a second mascot die in 3 days (after the masive myocardial infarction suffered by the giant Orange).  Brutus gets absolutely rocked by OSU linebacker David Perkins.  Poor kid in the mascot suit....not worth the schollie to take that hit!

I can't master the embed thing, so if anyone can help me out, much love.

Eh.. You can't actually see the contact made, and the fact that he gets right back up suggests he hardly got rocked. A guy with no pads on getting rocked by a D1 LB would look more like Wile E Coyote after having a piano fall on his head.

This is somewhat irrelevant - and this play against a mascot doesn't prove anything - but Perkins was a kid I really liked coming out of high school.  The kid can really run.  He played running back, too, but he was a little stiff and looked more like a linebacker.

That linebacker is an idiot. Why on earth would one do that to some kid in a costume wearing no pads? And he led with his head, as well. Idiot. OH-!

You gotta love how Nebraska is in the news for letting the young boy score a uplifting touchdown, while over at tUOS they're knocking the crap out of the mascot
