Another Cheap Shot Candidate

Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson is flattened by Texas Tech's Brandon Williams after throwing a pass in the first quarter of Saturday's game at College Station. These teams don't like each other. You might recall the hit below from last year's game in Lubbock.

Busting the Broncos for Cheap Shots

Last week we posted a cheap shot by Boise State's Ellis Powers on Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli. The Broncos were busy that day, with safety Jeron Johnson being ejected for a shot on Duck receiver Ed Dickson. Both plays are on this video.

Boise State safety Ellis Powers puts the hammer down on Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli during the Broncos' 37-32 victory last Saturday. Masoli was forced to leave the game because of a concussion.

First Cheap Shot of the Year Candidate

One cheap shot deserves another. Oklahoma defensive tackle DeMarcus Granger charges into Washington's Casey Bulyca, flattening the guard before the ball is snapped. The Huskies regroup and then Bulyca, center Juan Garcia guard Jordan White-Frisbee triple team and thug up Granger, who leaves the game because of injury.

Cheap shots are totally uncalled for and this site does its best to call attention to any cowardly act in hope the offender — or in this case offenders — will be punished. Here's a link to the Cheapest Shots of 2007 and 2006. If you spot a cheap shot, send an email at dawizofodds@aol.com.

Update: Bob Stoops said the Sooners are not "whining " about the play. "It's unfortunate any time any of that happens," he said. "But there is always a lot of rough and tough play inside so nobody here is whining about it.'' There was no update provided on the extent of Granger's injury.
