Like I said, Odum's play was not as bad on the replay as it looked in real time. The runner was still in bounds as he was going in for the tackle, then stepped out. He hit him out of bounds, but he was not yet out of bounds when odum started his tackle.
They were similar plays. Odum's was worse, but not by much

Luck was not out of bounds when he was pushed. That play looked worse because of the surface he slid on once he got out of bounds.
Odum's play was FAR worse.
Here is the angle he took on that tackle. You see that he's angled to go after the tackle clearly way out of bounds:
Here is where he hit Lewis:
WAY out of bounds on that hit
There isi ZERO excuse to take that angle for a tackle when headed to the sideline. You take the angle at the sideline and if you miss him, it's because he went out of bounds, but you don't take a tackling angle that puts you way out of bounds. That's just stupid.
