per ESPN:

Penn State's football coach and athletic director both said Wednesday they shared the same reaction upon watching the now-viral video of Anthony Zettel tackling -- and taking down -- a tree: What on earth was he thinking?

"It's not something you feel great about as a coach, watching your All-American D-tackle throw his shoulder into a tree," James Franklin told fans during a stop on the Penn State Coaches Caravan, a speaking tour of sorts.

Franklin added, joking, according to FightOnState: "He comes from a town in Michigan that only has one stoplight, so there's obviously not a lot to do."

Zettel's friend and teammate, linebacker Jordan Dudas, posted the video on Instagram over the weekend. And it simply took off from there, becoming the talk around Happy Valley and even making appearances on national TV shows such as ESPN's "Around the Horn."

Go Gophers!!
 



I saw a kid run up and push an old rotted out tree like that many years ago. The tree did start to fall over but split in half from all the rot and part of it came down and hit him in the head. Not the smartest thing I have ever witnessed.
