Correct. White shoved him in the upper chest more than anything. Worst case should be roughing the passer and that's a stretch.

Defenseless was the player on the ground getting punched by an Alabama player

"Technically not targeting, but rather a beating. Not reviewable" -SEC OFFICE

ATLsuTiger•79 months

The announcers were quick to confirm targeting, the review itself was quick, and the SEC releasing a statement was quick. It’s almost as if...they were waiting for a play like this??? Either way, they can all STTDB.

SEC can gon frick itself. Go look at thr non call in the Alabama game. Take your tigged league and your Birmingham office and shove it up your collective asses. We know the rule you idiot. That was not targeting by your own rule. So go eat shite and die.

My feelings was the SEC network was set up with Bama showcase after showcase and control of the other teams from the get go. Saban playing all those idiots by not allowing them to get into his inner circle. Meanwhile they the press, ESPN, NCAA and SEC officials keep trying to get in their by loving up to him.

JumpingTheShark•79 months

The fact that they even have to comment on it speaks volumes. They know it was a shite call.

CanebreakCajun•79 months

100% right

curcurt•79 months

By rule, no player "except for Alabama players" shall target and make forcible contact to the head....

BillyBozLA•79 months

That's it!!! SEC Office, check out the Mack Wilson hit that put the Tennessee QB out of the game yesterday. No Flag, No Penalty, No Ejection!

Old•79 months

which is exactly why LSU must walk away from this group. Money my arse how much more does Alabama need to feel important? Jerks! Hicks! Dirt!

SoulGlo•79 months

By rule, that wasn't even a penalty.

Buckeye Jeaux•79 months

The SEC is great, except for the criminal officiating. All Bama, all the time.

Lsu101205•79 months

By rule, no call that can benefit Alabama shall be overturned. The person in charge of reviewing the play was a graduate of Alabama at the time. By rule, the SEC must be located in Birmingham and be lead by 80% Alabama graduates.

Meldedee•79 months

I guess when the Tennessee QB got LIT UP today, that was a cozy hug from the bama d

Tiger Tom•79 months

so a guy from Jasper throws out LSU best player A guy from Birmingham says its good and a former Bama golfer rubber stamps it. Why would anyone have questions????

iglass•79 months

That's mighty melty, pal. You realize you are complaining about Bama and bad officiating - that is not even in a Bama game???

Tiger Tom•79 months

Show me which part is not documented truth

Tom Ritter was in the replay booth.

texastigerr•79 months

These rules apply to all SEC teams except Alabama. So Stably you can go frick yourself.

TheFranchise•79 months

The poorly crafted statement makes it worse. They should have had that although the video clearly shows not only no forcible contact, it clearly shows no contact to the head or neck. But, the call is a judgment call and won’t be overturned. Lying to say something is there that clearly isn’t only fans the flames that a fix is in.

Skankey is a piece of shite just like his predecessor.

SwampBandit•79 months

Eat shite, he pushed with his hands more than anything... Dick riding bama refs

Pussy arse Skankey and the Birmingham SEC.

BayouBengals03•79 months

“The QB on the play was defenseless.” Am I taking crazy pills? He has two freaking feet on the ground. He was in no way defenseless.
