This situation is reminiscent of the move Woody Hayes made in the Gator Bowl against Clemson. He lost control and struck Charley Bauman, a linebacker immediately after Bauman intercepted an Ohio State pass, sealing the victory for the Tigers. The move ultimately cost Woody his job.

I think this is worse than the Woody Hayes meltdown. At least it was a dead ball when Hayes went upside the Clemson LB. Here it was a live ball...
I think the closest analogy to last weekend's play is the 1954 Cotton Bowl where an Alabama player on the bench came off the bench to knock down Rice RB, Dicky Moegle, who was running free for a TD.
BTW Rice clobbered Alabama in that game. Times have changed since 1954 in terms of college football programs...
