I lost all respect for DAT as a serious athlete when he helped our beloved LSJU upset the Ducks in 2012 by cheering on Mariotta's breakaway without noticing that Carrington was bearing down on his QB from behind. Even an "excuse me sir" brush block on DC would have sent Mariotta into the end zone, and I for one am not sure that our boys would have recovered from that result. I am sure, however, that it was a complete downer for OU that helped lead us to our great win. Anybody of DAT's size (regardless of ability) needs to be a completely complete player in today's NFL--fully aware and willing to sacrifice his body from play after play. DAT ain't dat.
