What the hell took so long, decision should have been made shortly after the game.
They (many officials, etc.) likely looked at the replay hundreds of times to determine if it was a helmet to helmet hit. To me it was in a gray area where Dial didn't seem to intentionally lead with his helmet but because he is so much bigger than Murray, their helmets definitely collided during the hit. I would have been OK with either interpretation. Regardless, the hit was completely unnecessary since Murray was well away from the action.

My take on all of it was that the SEC basically talked to the schools and said that if Alabama players are suspended for that hit, Georgia players will be suspended for the eye gouging incident. Neither Richt nor Saban wanted to have the SEC suspend players, and were happy to handle it internally.

What ??? If he's bigger than Murray his helmet should not have collided with Dial's.
