So, IF he would have not heard the footsteps and made more of an attempt to catch the ball would it have been illegal?
Not Trae's fault the receiver got scared?

For this hit, that wasnt a flag during the game. LINK

His head is clearly to the side. It's almost a perfect hit. WTF are you talking about?

Should have been flagged. It was pretty bad, actually really bad.
Why? Was it too hard? What makes that hit egregious? He led with his shoulder, not his head. That hit was football at it's best. Too many lawyers in sports now days.

Hell, I screen-capped the moment of impact that CLEARLY shows it was a legal hit.

Sure

Breaking news, you must let the receiver catch the ball before laying a hit on him. Any play that results in contact and a dropped ball will be determined illegal.
The ball was right there, then the Ute alligator armed the catch, missed it and got rocked by a shoulder to the catch.

The DBs head was DOWN with his facemask facing the ground and he clearly hit the receiver in the facemask with the crown of his helmet.
If the DBs head wasn't down it wouldn't be an issue. The DB lead with the crown of his helmet, hence the suspension. I don't like the rule either but it is the rule.

why do you keep calling the receiver a ute?

It's a perfectly legal hit and the SEC is out of bounds to make a call like this. Are they now going to review every game to see if players tackle too hard?

If the SEC feels that hit was illegal, they should have suspended the referee for not flagging it, and not the player.

Oh that is complete b.s. Ole Miss should protest.

While I agree a flag should have been called based on the new rule, a suspension is a purely random act in this case. It's like cops giving on ticket on the interstate when everyone is speeding; there have been a number of hits on that level in which penalties were doled out. The question: why this one? Though it was surely a brutal hit to his upper chest area, the DB did not lead with his headgear; looked like a shoulder hit to me.

You have never played football before. One of the best clean hits I've seen in a while, and a player the Rebels will certainly need against Texas.
