Maybe I'm just saying this because of the luke Del Rio incident but doesn't it look like he's hitting a little too low? Although to be fair matt wasn't even closer a Passer at the time he was hit

That is a form tackle on Davis. Nothing dirty. He was a runner and several yards beyond the line of scrimmage. I have no idea what happened with the Florida QB but Davis was not the result of a dirty hit.

Watch the beginning a few times and the hit (I watched it like 8 times)...he was obviously tied up with Goolsby and came in for the tackle in a weird way. Not 100% his fault and not malicious.

since when is hitting low a dirty play? Blocking low or a chop block is illegal but not on the runner. You can't target or hit high but injuries happen in Football.
