That was a MONSTER HIT, but Kash took the brunt of it and came out the worse for wear. Messer never came off the field and has never missed anything this week. Messer will be playing at 100%. TBH it could have been a targeting call on Kash, but it happened so fast and hard that it went unnoticed. It was the hardest hit I had seen this year. watching the hit from the end zone was like watching 2 "RAMS on the old National Geographic channel hitting heads". Glad Kash was okay after the hit. Messer has grown physically since starting as a 6'0" 150 pound freshman. Do not think he would have survived that hit if he were younger.

I agree. Messer's physicality has been his greatest improvement to his game over the last 4 years. He is more than happy to lower his shoulder, nowhere near afraid to go across the middle or up for a ball. He is alot stronger than he seems as well.
