Brains are a funny thing.  Near the end of the 1st Rankin takes a whack, spins in the air, then hits FM down on the turf.  I think he got concussed.  Which is funny, because the spin on its own won't concuss you (usually), and that faceplant usually won't (it wasn't that hard), but the 2 together seem to have done it.  Rotational forces on the brain can lead to concussions, but usually with a quick stop or start.  The rotation had totally stopped (relatively slowly) by the time there was any whack, but the brain was probably still wobbling.  Then the turf whack to have 2 directional forces at the same time.

From his reaction it would appear he's not at all used to that feeling.  Many RBs just shake it off (even if they shouldn't).  Rankin finding out he's mortal.

P.S. That was that Labrosse kid that destroyed us when we faced them, eH?  FS?  Very promising player.  Hits like Loffler, has a range & nose like Dequoy.

2Q3:31 You don't often see a fine for a HC tackle, but this one is gonna get it.  That was a nasty, nasty uncalled for HC with a huge head whack to the turf at the end.

At least most HC committers try to let go when the dude is clearly falling down.  This CGY guy never let go resulting in the worst head hit I've seen from these in a while.

Dude looked minorly concussed.
