[ESPN’s video here](http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3653920) [Video with commentary](http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Welcome-to-the-SEC-Stephen-Garcia-Signed-your?urn=ncaaf,115984) I cannot believe this one. There is no question in my mind this official purposefully hit the Gamecocks’ quarterback and put him on his ass. I haven’t seen that anyone has complained to the SEC yet, but I hope he gets suspended at a minimum!!! Thoughts? ---
