Baylor and
Oklahoma had been notably aggressive and physical in their Big 12
showdown at McLane Stadium on Saturday night even before a Bears drive
late in the first half, with plenty of post-play pushing and shoving.
Then Oklahoma defensive tackle Matt Dimon
took things from appreciably chippy to dirty, kicking a Baylor player
in the helmet after being taken to the ground on a field goal try.
Simon was (appropriately)
ejected for that kick, and the penalty he drew helped Baylor score a
game-tying touchdown. On his way back to the locker room, he very
clearly yelled "FUCK Y'ALL" to the Baylor fans booing him.
Dimon won't be available for the second half, but that doesn't mean things are going to get any less chippy. This is a game in which the winner's College Football Playoff hopes will stay alive, while the loser's will be dashed, after all.
