Texas Longhorns wide receiver Marquise Goodwin was flagged for a personal foul penalty for illegal contact above the shoulder in the second quarter in today's game against UCLA today. That "illegal contact" from Goodwin came in the form of a helmet-to-helmet crackback block on UCLA cornerback Andrew Abbott that was so vicious that it knocked Abbott's helmet clean off.
Goodwin could not have timed the block more perfectly, but he went for Abbott's head, and that's what triggered the 15-yard penalty. Goodwin's lucky he's not in the NFL or else he probably would be fined for $50,000 for that hit.
