NOTEBOOK: The "chop block" on Jevohn Miller, the fake punt and more

I didn't watch the game. Is there a video of the cheap shot that took out Miller? Eric and John on the radio made it sound pretty bad.

I thought for sure they were going to call OU for holding either Morrisey or for holding Ferch all the way across the field. Even so, the call on Morrisey was incredibly weak, even for a Big 12 crew.
Hopefully he watches tape of the rest of the game too. He might then agree that there were not several good things, like he said during the game.
People who get chop blocked don't put up points so nobody cares. No money to be made in helping defenses!
It wasnt a chop block. He got cut. The fullback came out of the backfield and cut him... sucks that he got hurt but there was nothing illegal about it. Its one of the things that drives me nuts about isu. OU cut us all day. Legal blocks...easy blocks. No....isu would rather a back or receiver not cut and get owned or called for holding.
It drives me nuts every year. Cut him at the knees!
I can't remember exactly what he said but Bruns said it was not a legal block.
OU does not need to cut us to kick our ***, but they do. They don't need to maul WR to suffocate us, but they do. You can say the same for KSU, Baylor, and so on.
We need to, but don't. It probably has to do with the fact we would not execute it correctly. When we cut block, we would either wiff or get called for a chop. On passes we would get flagged for PI. You have to be well coached to play that way.

Even chop blocking requires skill. We'd probably make "air" chop blocks if we tried going down the chop block route
NO offense to bruns but he is wrong if he thinks that is an illegal block. I rewound it a couple of times.
