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.

Theyre completely different scenarios though.

Alabama fans are full of the suck.
It was a blatant cheap shot on a qb that gets flagged in every single college football game (except for Bama). The head of the SEC officials even said that they specifically look for cheap shots on the qb's after turnovers.
Other players in the league get suspended for hits that the SEC deemed malicious, yet Bama players are allowed to use WWE moves on opponents and now the SEC has proven that Bama defenders are allowed to head-hunt the opponent's quarterback.

Wasnt a cheap shot

When they hit defenseless players
Yes, it was a cheap shot on a defenseless player. Quarterbacks get special treatment in football now-a-days. I'm not saying that I agree with it, but they do. You just can't breathe on a qb, even after a turnover, which the head of the SEC officials stated. You guys know it was dirty and should have been flagged. The only reason I think he should be suspeneded is because the league has suspended other players for "hitting too hard". But yet again, Bama is protected.

SEC's Steve Shaw on radio: "This was an interception return ... If (Murray) moved to participate in the play, he's a defender."

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.

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.

He was the exact opposite of a defenseless player in this situation.

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.

Does this mean Alabama fans will stop complaining about calls in a game they won, now?

Just talked to an LSU fan who was fine with it. I think it's just overly feminized male internet posters who are up in arms.
I am 100% ok with hits like this. Hell I think this is how football should be. But it's not consistent. That would have gotten a flag thrown on it 90% of the time. And Murray was jogging and not going full speed cause he wasn't expecting to get tagged like that.
If that play was legal and always allowed you can be sure that Murray wouldn't have half assed jogged like that.
So again I don't have a problem with the hit itself. I have a problem with the way the rules call something's and not others.

Doubt it. If we don't complain, people assume there weren't any bad calls against us.
