re: Alabama: 5 yards per play/Ole Miss 6.7 yards per play

The rule says you can't be over 3 yards downfield. Your center was and it doesn't matter why. Illegal play.

Something tells me the next time Freeze pulls that play he will get flagged. Malzahn too.

Well make that Saban as well. We've all seen clips of Alabama doing the same thing.

It happens.

In this case, it had no bearing on the play itself and was one more example of Alabama being dominated on a play but then chalking it up to luck. Just like 5 turnovers, none of which were caused by the better team on the field which was OM (tongue in cheek).
