If your conclusion is any indication, it's obvious you haven't watched it. Watch the video in the OP's article. It's in slow motion so maybe your brain will have time to catch up.
Dial lowers his shoulder and uses his forearm and shoulder to hit Murray in the chest. Then his head hits Murrays facemask. He did not lead with his head. Murray was not a defenseless player. Clean hit.

I could watch that gif all day. Great block!

You are a moron, the tackle was being made as he hit him...Murray was joggin for christs sake, its ok to block, that was a fricking blind sided, helmet to helmet (whether he led with his shoulder or not, the helmets hit) blasts on a QB not even a threat to the carrier. The logic you guys are losing here is flawed. Its a losing battle...let it go. IT was dirty. period

I agree with your argument and I hate that aggressive play is being taken away from modern football. However SEC officials have released a statement that a flag should have been thrown, so I am not sure you can just dismiss it as a "clean" hit.

this would be an interesting case study on 'peoples ability to see what's really happening, as opposed to seeing what they want to believe.'
Happens in sports all time.
Literally, any non-biased person in the world, can look at the .gif and see Dial lead with the crown of his helmet and hit Murray's Neck/Jaw.

You are wrong. If anything there is a simultaneous
collision between helmet to chin and forearm to chest. Result should have been a helmet to helmet.

His forearm is the last to make contact, and without a frame by frame, it's tough to make a case whether his helmet or shoulder hit first

What's worse a helmet to the head, or a lineman landing on your groin area?
Murray got both!

Looks like a solid block to me. Like I said, if he wasn't a QB no one would care.
