Got punched in the face, among other assaults he endured at the hands of Memphis thugs.
So he left the melee and went over to the BYU sidelines where what should he encounter? An enraged maniacal goon wearing Memphis #40 with a Memphis coach trying desperately to drag him away from his attack on BYU players, ON THE BYU SIDELINE where he had rushed over to taunt and start fights. The jerk had been down on the ground punching, kicking and probably biting BYU players.
So Nacua comes upon this fool who was screaming obscenities and threats at BYU players. Nacua, who was beaten, bruised, cut and bleeding at the hands of vicious Memphis thugs, could stand no more insult and abuse of his teammates so he took a couple of wild swings at #40 but did no damage.
In my opinion, we cannot and will not blame Nacua. I would have done the same. That thug #40 is an out-of-control goon and he will surely end up in prison one day.
