re: Why hasn't Dial been suspended yet?

What is your definition of a defenseless player? To me it is anyone who can't defend themselves. Which would be Murray because he never saw Dial until he was hit.

My definition is the same as what the NCAA has on the books for their definition:

Rule 2 Section 27 Article 14

a. A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass.
b. A receiver whose focus is on catching a pass.
c. A kicker in the act of or just after kicking a ball.
d. A kick returner whose focus is on catching or recovering a kick in the
air.
e. A player on the ground at the end of a play.
f. A player obviously out of the play.



NONE of these apply to Aaron Murray getting hit. It doesn't matter if he can't see the hit either (and he did see the hit if you find that one pic of him thats around here)
