I believe it was Jordan Evans that made the hit..........

Nope, it was Chuck Tapper.
Remember, Charles got a hold him, they didn't blow the whistle because Stidham stood there and stiffened up, so Tapper said OK, then slammed him down pretty hard.

I remember thinking oh gawd, here we go with another personal foul, auto first down. However they made the right 'no call'.
It was just a solid football play.

I can't imagine why a guy would still be in pain five days after Tapper man-handles him.

I know K2C is off his game...what's he like, old or something?

He was slammed on his tailbone. Chris Johnson has talent, just wasn't gonna waste it sitting behind Stidham, so asked to move to WR. He is a 6'5" dual threat kid from Bryan.

Actually, they both got a pretty good lick on him on different plays. Evans' was early in the game and drew a flag. In wrestling, it would have been good for two points for a takedown, plus a near fall.

Thanks vert for bailing me out. I thought I read the injury came on the third play of the first Baylor drive. I thought that's when he got hurt. I spent the last thirty minutes trying to find a film clip with no luck.........

That was one hard hit on Stidham by Tapper, but I don't think it was excessive. Borderline, but still a legal hit.

Yep, when the QB leaves the protected confines of the 'passing box', he becomes a 'runner' and as such the rules are more relaxed in how you tackle him.
I do believe that had Tapper been any more demonstrative in tackling him he would've drawn the ugly flag though. IMO
