I think what elevated the uproar about this particular play is that previously in the game, McCarron got hit and it was flagged. Yeah, it was deemed helmet to helmet, but it was more so in the action of the play itself and appeared not nearly as violent as Dial's "block."
Had the the hit on McCarron, which was an attempt to sack the QB, not been flagged, I don't think you'd see so much controversy about the hit on Murray.

The McCarron penalty was EXACTLY within the definition of the rule. Hitting a player in the act of throwing the ball. Just as the Elston hit earlier in the year was was on a receiver stretched out to make a catch. Both instances were the very DEFINITION of the defenseless player rule.

The hit on AJ was the very definition of an above the neck hit on a defenseless player. The same can't be said for Dial's hit. Dial should have been flagged, but it was not as obvious as the hit on AJ.

This. Dont really care about the no suspension. Dial was doing his job especially on replay Murray was making a half arse attempt at playing defense. Always gotta key your head on a swivel. Just so happened that later in the hit there was helmet to helmet. However the McCarron hit was the exact same thing. Hard hit shoulder first attempting for sack and there was minor helmet to helmet. Only difference was McCarron was a pussy and went straight to the ref and happened to play for Bama.
It should have been either both flagged or neither flagged.
