Look at the hit Akunne had on the SMU receiver last year vs the hit Carlos Harris had in this game. No matter how you want to spin or how you personally feel about Harris's hit was illegal. According to the rules of football today that is an illegal hit. Think about it this way as well. Carlos his shorter than the player that he hit. In order to even hit the player that high up he would have had to launch himself into him. When he hit the player even if he touched his chest up his launching himself sent him into the head and neck area which makes it a foul. Akunne's hit is an example of how to lay someone out without launching yourself or hitting their head or neck.
