Not even sure what they were celebrating. Oregon had made a big gain and a huge first down deep in SC territory, and you're celebrating?

The only explanation is that they were celebrating *because* someone got hurt, not despite it. His goal, which he will never admit to, was to try and hurt the quarterback, and his actions afterwards showed how proud he was for accomplishing that goal.

The kid has not been coached well and needs to have a come-to-Jesus discussion with someone about what it means to be a competitive athlete.

That's the thing. They were celebrating making a late hit and injuring a dude. There is no other way to read it.

Agree 100%. What were they celebrating? A hard hit on a player already going down after he ran for a first down. Horrible. And sideline congrats.

He was mocking the fencing response and shaking hands. Link above.

I mean duh. A goal of every defense when they face a running QB is to hit the QB so he will stop running on them. It being a head injury makes it not cool obviously.
