Day was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty but got away with the 2 Stomps. The problems for Day are his prior history, the cameras catching it, and public sentiments calling for the SEC league office to do something. The NCAA Div I office may make the SEC do something because of the video evidence. We saw what happened with Day, the leader of the OL, out of the game. An ejection for targeting a defenseless player by stomping on them has some calling for him to be arrested for battery and prosecuted.

Mississippi State’s center got a personal foul call near the end of the third quarter for trucking an LSU defender well after the whistle.

As the Bulldogs figuratively stomped the Tigers in Baton Rouge, La., Saturday night, Day was busy doing it literally. The CBS cameras caught him stomping Davon Godchaux’s stomach and jamming his right foot into Rashard Robinson’s groin.

On the Godchaux stomp, Day appears to leap over quarterback Dak Prescott and LSU safety Jalen Mills, then forcefully plow his left cleat into the defensive tackle’s belly, causing a visible ripple. Judging by Day’s head, the center eyeballs his target and then peels his head away immediately as if to disguise the move. If it were accidental, wouldn’t Day have looked back to see what damage he’d done?

Later, when Day probably could’ve avoided Robinson, he hammers his foot into the cornerback’s groin, causing himself to lose balance and topple over and Robinson to leave the game.

Considering Day, a 6-foot-4, 299-pound long-haired senior, was suspended for a half last year due to another stomping incident, it’s hard to believe it was accidental.

It will be interesting to see whether the SEC takes initiative to suspend Day, a Rimington Trophy watch lister. The video looks intentional and indefensible.
