Filed under: Missouri, Nebraska, Big 12
Helmet -to-helmet contact has been a hot issue in the NFL lately.It's also making its way to the college ranks. Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said Monday he has sent in video of a hit quarterback Blaine Gabbert took from Nebraska safety Courtney Osborne during the fourth quarter of Saturday's critical Big 12 North showdown.
Osborne came off the edge untouched on a blitz and appeared to hit Gabbert high up around the head area. Gabbert was clearly dazed after the hit as he stayed on the surface for a while before being helped to his feet. He walked back to the huddle. Gabbert didn't miss any time.
"It wasn't about who hit him or if there was malice, but everybody is trying to get away from everybody," Pinkel said. "We'll see what happens but it certainly wasn't any malice on that guy's part.
"We would like for them to review it and give us their opinion."
