Actually, it's not quite as bad as it seemed last night. He had the guy more around the shoulder area than I originally thought. Holding was probably the correct call.
I will say, though, that most of this board would be bitching to high heaven if the same thing had been done by a Bama player.

My first reaction was he had his arm around Dre's neck and pulled him down. That would be a dirty play.
The video clearly shows he did not. A forearm to the head. Stupid and selfish does not make it dirty.

yeah, I think the second to last, closer up shot of it shows it nicely. From a distance, you can't tell what TM7 is doing, it looks like he could be clothes-lining him or even jerking his facemask. That closer show shows clearly a quick grab of the dude's shoulder and maybe a little spin or shove. He must have just fallen on it weird. Not dirty at all, just a silly mistake. But, of course, we're gonna have to listen to 10,000 gumps calling for his head, saying he should be banned, etc. And probably just as many of our own fans...

I agree with this - holding, but it's not even a personal foul. He was just a few inches from making a big play - if he had just a little more front, that hit is legal. I originally thought he got the helmet (secondary though, still not a PF), but the illegal contact appears to me to have been with his left hand. He hit him, I believe, legally with the right hand, to the front of the pads. The continuation of the action where he, more or less, made a tackle is what was illegal.
