It’s nothing more exciting than to watch a football player hurdle a would-be defender in live action during a football game—if it goes right.
However, when Nebraska wide receiver Alante Brown decided to hurdle Michigan defensive back Mike Sainristil, the outcome of the play was a classic case of how hurdling can go wrong. Take a look.
Brown fielded the pass and picked up 13 yards on the play. But his yardage came with a painful-to-watch hit. In the process of Brown leaping over Sainristil, the Wolverine defensive back placed his helmet in an area that Brown will surely feel the pain later tonight and tomorrow morning, followed by DJ Turner adding additional lick for good measure before Brown landed awkwardly on his head.
