This gets old. You can YouTube the play and see he's down, not once, but twice. First time by lower leg, then again after he rolls over the tackler by his non-throwing arm.

It was a shitty, shitty call. Why some people feel the need to explain it away just fascinates me. In the same way I'm fascinated by an irritating child.


If he was down as you said, then Alabama got screwed because it should have been a late hit/roughing the passer resulting in Alabama getting the ball 1st and 10 at the 18 yard line.

Looked like his calf touched the ground right before he let go of the ball.

Not that it matters, but if the jersey colors were reversed, are you really yelling for a late-hit / roughing the passer flag here?

That is a complete and utter bullshite call.

Exactly. These dumb shits are trying so hard to make it seem like it wasn't the right call, but even if it wasn't the right call, and he was down, then Bama would've benefited from a late hit PF call.

This gets old as well. Watch the play. If its that frigging debatable, what the meaning of "down" is ... how do you throw a flag for two players rushing in to clean up the play ? Come on. They didn't lead with a helmet. They didn't "lead" with anything. They came in and pretty much fell on Young, and not even with their full weight. If THAT'S roughing the passer, then you can't touch the passer.

And its not an if. Watch the video. Young was down, not once, but twice.

The refs botched it. 'Bama benefited from it. There is no need, absolutely none, for all this perverse bullshite to try and justify it. It was an egregious, awful officiating call. Pure and simple.

Seriously? roughing the passer. In the past two game Bama has injured three of four Texas’ quarterbacks, and you wanna go there?

they didn't blow the whistle so that argument holds no water
