There’s a lot of clutter on the sidelines at football games. Beyond the 22 players and the officiating crew between the lines, there are literally hundreds of people coming and going from the playing field while games are going on. You’d expect players to sometimes run into cameras, band members, cheerleaders, or whatnot.

You would not expect to see a player get tackled directly into a marimba. But that’s the reality that descended upon Monday night’s Tennessee-Georgia Tech game in Atlanta. Tennessee’s Nigel Warrior knocked Tech’s TaQuon Marshall straight into that instrument, which was sitting next to a Tech band member.

I’m pretty sure that’s a marimba, which has a bunch of resonating bars underneath it. I don’t think it’s a xylophone, which has a flat top and much less below it. Here’s a whole detailed Wikipedia page about marimbas, in case you’re now in love with them.

Marshall remained in the game, and Tech took a 14-7 lead into halftime.
