Notre Dame's Torii Hunter Jr. took a big hit in the third quarter of Sunday night's game against Texas. 

On a third-and-12, Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer threw between two Texas defenders, and Hunter had the ball in his hands before Texas' DeShon Elliott jarred it loose with this monster hit.

Elliott was not called for targeting, however, and Notre Dame missed a field goal on the next play.

Hunter was helped off the field under his own power.
