Perfect...that'll work.

Ok...as Magee goes into the line, Pocic gets a hand slammed to his face by #90 Reed. He then pulls back and two hand shoves Pocic in the chest as Magee is essentially on the ground. Pocic comes back and slams #33 of Bama who's standing around. As the whistles finally blow, #33 shoves Pocic in return.

As the whistles continue to be blown, BAMA's #47 comes in and pushes Dillon Gordon #85 right n front of the back judge who will a couple of seconds later throw the flag on Vadal. Gordon shoves back and that official addresses Gordon.

Right after as whitles continue to blow, BAMA's #85 Robinson grabs Vadal's leg and begins to pull...and Alexander turns and shoves him off.

The back judge, just then looking up from Gordon sees the BAMA player flailing back and he throws his flag.

This is a slow motion of the play from the end zone camera. I only post this one because I find the expression on the back judge's face, well...I don't know. But it seems a bit odd to me.

My point to this is that I get that it's become a cliche that the last guy is always the only flagged...but this wasn't a two person deal. both teams, for nearly 5 seconds of whistle blowing were shoving. there was no reason to single out Alexander without him having dome something above and beyond everyone else. and given BAMA's Reed had already gotten away with a shiv to Pocic's grill on the play, Alexander ought to have had to go pretty damn far to draw that flag at that point.
