On that specific play there wasn't much shoving.

That's incorrect...there was a ton of shoving. BAMA was pissed and the first person shoving was #90 Reed on their DL. He first shoved Pocic in the facemask and then harder in the chest...which touched of the back and forth. The last two things that happened were Vadal being pulled and then him shoving the guy pulling him.

I didn't see any of the specifics at the game, mind you, and I was pissed and assumed Vadal must have thrown a punch or done something stupid to have been the one in the scrum that was singled out. As it turns out, there were very specific things that happened and literally the least of it was Vadal. Given the facial expression of the official that threw the flag, something about Vadal's action seemed to piss him off.

That's why I'm asking for the video of the whole exchange, because quite a bit more happened on that play than just Alexander's shove. I've explained it in detail, but it's easier to see the video.

Should have been off setting.

At worst. At best, level headed officials would have come in, told everyone to, in my best Saban voice, "CALM THE frick DOWN!!" and got on with second down.
