Impressive... but wtf was that 2nd defender doing? If he keeps his head up he could of demolished the guy.

Isn't that a unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in HS football. Pretty sure you're not allowed to hurdle a defender.

Apparently it isn't there -- every official on the field was looking right at that event and nobody tossed a flag.

Why is that unsportsmanlike?

I could be wrong on this but I thought it was only a penalty if your cleat touched the defender whole you were jumping over him or something like that. I'm too lazy to look it up.

Random side note but I saw Nik Moser hurdle a defender on a QB scramble in a game against Ames Little Cyclones back in the 2001 season for Fort Dodge. Pretty amazing when you see that kind of athleticism happening live.
