That's a facemask. He grabbed it and pushed him down with it.

No and no.

WTF is wrong with your eyes?

I think 14 for OU should be penalized for looking like a huge pussy on that tackle attempt. Looked like he was flopping.

That was hands to the face and it should have been a 10 yard penalty from the spot of the foul.

However, it rarely gets called. This one was pretty bad though. The offensive player definitely grabbed and pushed. Just the pushing is enough for the foul.

No, but it is almost never called.

You can tell that Mike Evans used to play basketball. He just took the OU defender's head and tried to dribble it on the ground.

You can stiff arm on the face. You just can't grab.

What was the score at that point?

I thought TAMU was getting shafted until they went by about two touchdowns. Usually zebras give up trying to steal games at that point.

If you look closely, you can see Barrett Jones holding in this gif.

In the SEC, only Bama gets away with that shite. Good thing you had OOC Refs.




He must have learned that by watching Ingram and Richardson. They were notorious for that shite and it was never called, even when they did grab the facemask.

Reminds me of when Johnny did that to the Bama defender. Think it was one of their first round projected players, what was his name?

Hey Dumbfrick...there's 13 fouls that carry a 10 yd penalty and "hands to the face" isn't one of them. I love the "experts" showing how ignorant they are.

Little dude was out of position and tippie-toed his way into the attempted "tackle." (Insert "not impressed" pic here)

Yep. The perfect example of what is legal for Bama. Perfect placement of the thumb when you want to get away with grabbing a facemask and not getting a penalty. Not that theyd call it anyway....
