Couldn't agree more, if he hadn't been blocked and made it to the ball carrier he wouldn't have warned him or checked up as not to tackle him too hard.
Man 44 for Alabama hit a Missouri tailback with a belly to back suplex Chris Benoit would have been proud of, no suspension.
I tend to agree. The rules to protect quarterbacks when they are helpless standing in the pocket should not apply after an interception with a QB running towards the play.
Not when they are running towards the play as Bo Wallace was when Jalen Mills blocked him legitimately but when the qb is jogging off the field and gets obliterated with a hit that was lead with the helmet, flag all day everyday and it would have been called on every team in the SEC save 2.
You need to hang around TF game threads a little more, Terry. We saw quite a few penalties of this nature called on LSU this year. A few people bitch about the refs, but most of the time, the anger is directed at the player who committed a needless penalty.
That's an issue with the rules and how they are laid out right now on defenseless players. It only applies when a WR is hit. But, in a turnover situation there isn't anything in place. When I said "it's within the rules," it is. It's a rule that needs to be clarified. And there you'd be wrong. He was suspended for a game. The SEC office was notified on Sunday he would be pulled from the next game because of that play. Did the SEC issue a suspension? No. Was he suspended for a game by the coach? Yes.
