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.
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.

So you are now trying to argue that hitting a player after they are down on the ground is not a late hit? You are one special type of idiot.

Are you sure about that? I’d rather give up a safety than have the other team take over inside your 40.
You see a safety, Alabama kickoff from the 20, Texas probably takes over around their own 40. If Texas has the same short 24 yard drive, they just punt the ball there.

Based on the image of Bryce being down that I just saw, Alabama got screwed on the call.
It should have been roughing the passer. #0 is a full 7 yards away when Bryce is down, and yet still manages to hit him and half rip Bryces helmet off.
