Video: Auburn's Eric Smith takes a knee in Dion Jordan's back

By Matt Hinton

I've watched this replay over and over again, and I'm not sure what Oregon's Dion Jordan did to upset Auburn's Eric Smith on this second-quarter kickoff in Monday night's BCS championship game, other than play for a team that isn't Auburn. But whatever it was, Smith (No. 32, in the upper left-hand corner of the replay) was a little too eager to give Jordan a piece of his mind – er, knee – after the play:

As indicated, the play drew a 15-yard personal-foul penalty against Smith, as well as quite a bit of blood from Jordan after his face was driven into the turf:

Fortunately for Smith, he has experience defending himself in these matters. In this case, he stayed in the game after a tongue-lashing from coach Gene Chizik. At the time, the Tigers led, 19-11, and the only thing uglier than Smith's work on Jordan's face was Oregon's suddenly impotent offense.
