Because the Alabama player would have been ejected from the game.

The replay center is located in the SEC offices in Birmingham, Alabama which has a plaque of Bear Bryant as you walk in. Steve Shaw, a rare bammer graduate is the head of officiating in the SEC. Also, 63% of the refs in the SEC live in Alabama. This is like screaming at the TV when an SEC basketball team doesn't get a call against Kentucky. It has been this way forever.



and yet none of the cuck non Bama ADs do anything about it.

Because that totally would have changed the outcome.

Not the point. Much less obvious targeting gets called all the time. It is what it is and we all know the common factor.

At the end of the day I agree it wouldn't have changed the outcome.

I will say that #30 hits like Reuben Foster.

In fact I thought Foster for some reason was playing on the KO team. It looked like one of his hits.

Honestly because Speedy Noil didn't sell the call. If he would have stayed down and rolled around the flag would have been thrown. He got up so fast that he seemed unfazed .

Any hard collision almost instantly gets flagged if it's sold right.

Football will become like baskeball and soccer with players flopping and doing all of the dramatics.

I wasn't arguing whether or not it was targeting. I say in the student section saying it was honestly. One of your own made it seem like it would have affected the score, when it likely wouldn't have.

Yeah Mack has played great. He's had some time at fullback in mop up duty, so I can't imagine being a defensive player going up against him.

Did no one hear Gary later in the game? He revised his statement to "They determined he did not lead with the crown of his helmet." I guess because his head was up and hit him with the area just above the face mask, not the top of his head.

Either way, he should have been flagged, imo. I don't know how Noil didn't get a concussion with how hard is helmet got rocked.

He hit with front (forehead) of helment, not crown.


Bingo.

Collectively, all of these whiners may have about as many brain cells as a head of cabbage. The crown is the top. Not the mask, not the forehead.

I only saw the 0 on the jersey at first and blurted "Reuben just killed a guy." Then Mack stood up. He looks like a clone in kickoff coverage.

Is this a serious question? I am not even a college football fan and can figure this one out.

Two things

Noil wasn't a defenseless player. He was a ball carrier at the point he was hit

Secondly you can see how Wilson was wrapping up when contact was made. While contact with the crown was made in no way was he leading with the crown. He was making a legal play. There wasn't the intent.

Neither of those factors were at play when Harris got hit.

If this is the front forehead of a helmet I would suggest you take some anatomy classes...




Look it was targeting and should have been called.

it wasn't and wouldn't have changed the game much if at all.
