How bout you go listen to the commentator at the 57 sec mark of the same game.
Exactly. Please pay attention to Keene losing leverage and his footing and getting nonviolently pushed over on this play while simultaneously ignoring the THREE TOUCHDOWNS he had scored in the game.
He definitely doesn't want you to watch this play, from the same game:

Or read about what his coaches had to say about it:
In search of a favorite Dalton Keene highlight? Dig deep to find the context behind that story. Defensive end Trevon Hill, who coincidentally just signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent, grew tired of his lack of playing time at Virginia Tech, transferred to Miami and talked a ton of trash last season before the teams met.
“He was going to get after Trevon’s ass,” Wes Keene said. They lined up Keene opposite of Hill. The very first play, Keene drove Hill 7 yards off the ball to set the tone, and Keene had his way with the matchup to a point where Miami’s coaches had to pull Hill off the field.
“(That’s) the play I remember most,” Foster said. “He wanted to make a statement in a lot of ways. (Hill) felt like he got screwed a little bit, was mouthing a lot going into the game. I think it set the tone for the game.”
In the day of spread offenses, blocking has become a lost art for many tight ends. Not Keene. That’s must-watch stuff at Virginia Tech, and his coaches testified there was no better way to fire up their whole sideline than to watch him serve pancakes on Saturday afternoons.
“If I wasn’t talking to my (defensive line) guys,” Wiles said, “I was always watching Dalton because of the way he finished blocks, the way he finished on people. It’s pretty impressive.”
Keene, a building construction major, was described as “quarterback smart” and even helped the offensive line with some of their checks and pre-snap blocking calls.
The smarts are great. The want-to is admirable. The execution won over the NFL.
