On Purpose or No?

I'm pretty sure everyone in the world has seen this by now, if not you need to come out from under that rock you have been living under for the past 5 years. I don't think I have ever seen anything like this in the history of sports. In this slowed down version it looks as if the ref was actually doing this on purpose, but I can't believe that he would be so stupid to try to take down a player. On that note, the quarter back should feel like an ass cause he just got leveled by a 45 year old referee. I mean come on kid you are playing college football and you got leveled by a ref. The ref did play college football too, so he had a little advantage on the kid.
