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 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.

A flag for "unnecessary roughness" I would have been okay with. That's an extreme grey area and you could say he crossed the line (even though no one can clearly say where the line is)

But you can't suspend a kid when he didn't actually do anything illegal, he was just too rough. That's absurd.
