Only penalty for Virginia player’s cheap shot on UNC’s Josh Downs was an injury
Posted Sep 20, 2021
Virginia safety Joey Blount’s egregious hit on UNC receiver Josh Downs that has been making the rounds on social media has no place in football. There was a penalty on the play, but it was against Cavaliers defensive back Antonio Clary for grabbing Ty Chandler’s face mask. Blount’s only penalty was an injury and, fortunately, Downs wasn’t hurt.
