Carlos Hyde rocks Nick Hill on punt return (VIDEO)
![Ohio State's Carlos Hyde hits Nick Hill on a punt return Saturday.](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.usatoday.com/gcdn/media/USATODAY/gameon/2012/09/29/hyde-16_9.jpg?width=606&height=343&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp)
Carlos Hyde is a running back. He missed Ohio State's last two games with a sprained knee.
Nick Hill is also a running back (who returns punts for the Spartans).
Please keep these things in mind while watching Hyde blow up Hill after he fields a punt off the bounce on Saturday.
Here is a GIF in 3/4 speed to facilitate full appreciation.
Hyde does not hit like a running back. Wow.
The Buckeyes received a 15-yard penalty on the play. The officials gave Hyde a personal foul for the hit, which was too high (above the shoulder).
Urban Meyer disagreed:
It's important to note that Hill did not signal for a fair catch. Probably just do that next time?
Here is the full video. Penalty? Judge for yourself.
ASIDE: This was basically the opposite of UConn's "Unfair Catch" against Louisville in 2007. If you don't remember that, treat yourself to the video.
