They elected to start their season in the late winter/early spring like the BIG was doing before reversing course.Sorry, I may have missed a communication but why is FCS playing in Feb/March? No fall season?
He made no effort to get out of the way, and you can see that he lowered his shoulder and leaned into the hit. There is no way that was unintentional.Maybe my eyes just aren't what they used to be, but I didn't see that Johnson intentionally hit him. He was standing in one place and the problem was that the YSU defender hit Quan late out of bounds, redirecting his momentum toward Johnson at the last second. Johnson appeared to try to move to his left to avoid getting hit and stuck his elbow out as a defensive move.

On further review it also looks like he puts his leg out as well. The guy should be fired.He made no effort to get out of the way, and you can see that he lowered his shoulder and leaned into the hit. There is no way that was unintentional.
It should have been a late hit on the YS defender and a person foul on the bench. 30 yards in penalties and ejection for the”staffer.”

I disgree with the lot of you and I shall defend my position by breaking it down like the Zapruder film.On further review it also looks like he puts his leg out as well. The guy should be fired.
Oddly enough Keith Hernandez and Roger McDowell were at the game.I disgree with the lot of you and I shall defend my position by breaking it down like the Zapruder film.
In this first frame, Quan is headed toward the sideline. The defender is still about 3 yards away but is closing fast. Note Johnson's position relative to the white line that extends out from the boundary. His right foot is almost even with the white line. His feet are shoulder width apart, his hands are in his pockets, and he is standing completely upright. At this point there is no reason for him to think he is going to get hit.
In this second frame, Quan clearly is completely out of bounds. The defender has not yet made contact. Notice Johnson's feet. His right foot is still in the exact same place but, sensing that there may be a collision, his left foot has started to move back and to the left. Away from the potential point of contact. Back...and to the left. He is still standing completely upright with his hands still in his pockets.
In this third frame, the defender has now hit Quan out of bounds (should have been a 15-yard penalty), altering Quan's momentum directly toward Johnson. Note that Johnson has now moved his right foot backward in an attempt to avoid the collision. He appears to be bracing to protect himself from inevitable collision.
This final frame shows the actual impact. Note that Johnson's leg is not extended, as Tom Paris suggested. In fact, it is still moving backward, away from the collision. His shoulder is not lowered. He is simply bracing in a defensive posture to protect himself from the impact.
In less than a second, Johnson went from having no reason to believe he was going to be involved in a collision to being involved in a collision. He did nothing aggressive or malicious. He simply protected himself.
It should have been a 15-yard penalty on the player for a late hit out of bounds, but Johnson did nothing wrong.

"Nice game, pretty boy!"Oddly enough Keith Hernandez and Roger McDowell were at the game.
That angle sucks because it was shot from the opposite sideline and makes it look like Johnson tried to trip him even though he clearly didn't. Their legs never even made contact. Johnson's leg was moving away from the collision. Look at the still images I posted, particularly the fourth one. The point of impact was the shoulder/upper arm area.People like you are why eye witnesses are worse than useless.

Watch the clearer video, from a better angle.
Nevermind his apology...

Johnson apologized because the university told him to, probably because sometimes in these situations it's easier to just issue an apology and move on.

If he was "seeking" contact then why was he clearly moving away from the contact?To the rest of us it's clear he seeks contact and that's the issue.
The real question is why isn't ESPN showing these games?Sorry, I may have missed a communication but why is FCS playing in Feb/March? No fall season?

Most of the games are on ESPN+ and ESPN3.The real question is why isn't ESPN showing these games?

He was not moving away from the contact. He leaned into it. He positioned himself to deliver the hit, and he leaned into it. If it was truly an accident, why didn’t he react like he just collided with a guy?If he was "seeking" contact then why was he clearly moving away from the contact?
The defender redirected Quan's momentum straight toward Johnson at the last possible moment. It's completely ludicrous to suggest that Johnson went from casually standing in one place with his hands in his pockets to "I'm gonna knock that fvcker out!" in a fraction of a second.
FIFY. Stop with the whiny white male Karen stuff. You're embarrassing the rest of us.Most coaches at a power 5 school would be done.
Nope. Just because you don’t like my opinion you don’t need to get all shitty about it. Just move along.FIFY. Stop with the whiny white male Karen stuff. You're embarrassing the rest of us.
Nah. I'm gonna get shitty about it. I'm sick of the white whine about victimization and double-standards where none exist. Not saying they don't, but this is a stupid example and these examples are getting far too frequent.Nope. Just because you don’t like my opinion you don’t need to get all shitty about it.

If you want to figure out what he was doing with his feet go throw a punch. He was bracing for a collision, that he was about to initiate.I disgree with the lot of you and I shall defend my position by breaking it down like the Zapruder film.

This is what I saw as well.On further review it also looks like he puts his leg out as well. The guy should be fired.
Their. legs. never. touched.This is what I saw as well.
