Sorry, but if you are Butler once you get #21 to the ground you have to let him go. You don’t reposition to put your knees into another player’s chest or throat.
I don’t quite see the Butler’s legs getting hooked either.
Sure, I love seeing a player defend a teammate, but I have high character expectations for ISU and they lost their composure a bit.
It's also important to see the whole play in context. When you watch the play from the beginning, Butler looks like the victim.
Butler pancakes him, all with the Baylor player getting fist-fulls of his jersey. Then as soon as he pancakes him the DB wraps his arm around his leg.
I think it's pretty clear from the two plays in context that Baylor was inciting ****.
