He's a football player, final time of 7.56. Looks like most of his competitors also knocked most of their hurdles.
How often does this happen? Should there be a penalty for knocked hurdles to prevent this?

Is that why the race is still under review?
Seems faster to just run through the hurdles rather than over them these days.
You need to have an honest effort in clearing the hurdles for it to not be deemed a DQ.
But due to the height of the high hurdles, yes, it is common for each athlete to knock down the majority of the hurdles in their race. A lot of men hit the hurdle with their hamstrings which is acceptable. Other times it is their trail leg, which is also acceptable. But if they hit it with their lead foot, it is questionable because they could just not make an honest effort.
But I have seen at conference meets the winner get DQed afterwards because they hit all of the hurdles and the officials deemed it to not be an honest effort in clearing them.

No, not at all. It was because Jordan Moore of LSU ran completely out of his lane for much of the race.

How do you do that in a hurdle race? Did he go over his own hurdles?

His lead leg was going over the hurdle to the right of his for several of the hurdles. You could see the athlete in the lane next to him (to his right) look incredulously at him during the race. The only reason they didn't collide was that Moore got a very good start and had a half step on the guy to his right.
Of note, as they crossed the finish, Moore was almost entirely in the wrong lane and did collide a bit with the guy whose lane he was in.
The guy to his right was the Iowa guy who finished 4th? Pretty good concentration on his part.

Yup, Aaron Mallet from Iowa - who is now officially 3rd, as Jordan Moore is officially DQed.
Would be some big and important points lost for LSU
They should be scoring a lot of points in the next few minutes. 400m, 200m, 4 X 400...
60 meters is a very short distance, putting even more importance on the start and finish. Very common to hit all the hurdles. Very common to hit 5-7 hurdles in the 110s as well.
Also not that uncommon for people to run out of their lane in the highs, as all hurdles are in a line (no curve, thus no staggered hurdles like in intermediates). Not that uncommon for intermediate hurdlers to wrap their trail around the hurdle either, seen it mess up guys in other lanes on rare occasions.

They ought to use hurdles that don't move when you him them.
They ought to drop hurdles entirely, it's a silly event
These athletes stop at nothing to shave a few tenths:

That's cold
The lead leg has to be above horizontal.

Untrue.
If a hurdle is properly "clattered" rather than knocked, that is the honest effort distinction. The sound is the key.
This is why at least one official must always have eyes closed during the sprint hurdles.
I can't use my mind to think clearly and help with the discussion after watching those two videos posted on this thread, especially the first one. Seriously, what was that? That may be the oddest/funniest track video I've ever seen.
