Sorry, Payne's hits got him an eternity of glory on youtube. I'll always look up to the guy for the way he "put it on the line" and made solid hits. And if he doesn't stop the guy, who does? The returner could have taken both of those to the house and BYU wouldn't have been in a situation to even win the game. Payne is the man.
I'm not asking for Heaps to even tackle a guy, but if he slows that guy down 2 steps M. Reynolds could have finished the job.
Tavarias Jackson got jacked. So what, he probably walked it off and was back in the game in less than 5 minutes after the kickoff. Like someone else said, how many times have you seen a QB get hurt after an interception. Unfortunately, that safety never should have made it back to Heaps' vicinity. Tackle should have happened long before then.
