In the fourth quarter of today's Georgia-Georgia Tech game in Atlanta today, wide receiver Steven Hill made a nice 36-yard reception along the sideline. The pass steered Hill out of bounds, where he was accidentally tackled by a state trooper.
Hill tried to leap up and around the state trooper, while the state trooper put his arms out bracing for impact. As a result, the state trooper unexpectedly caught Hill in the air. The state trooper turned and had to drop Hill in order to regain his balance, while Hill was unable to regain his balance and fell to the ground. Both men were OK afterwards.
