I keep seeing references to an official telling Fitz to leave the game after Devin White's shove that was somehow ruled "targeting." Does anyone have video of the entire play with the officials' reactions?
Thanks

People keep bringing this up as if it is fishy. The referee had him leave the field because his HAND WAS BLEEDING.

That makes sense. There really was no explanation, so it just seemed fishy at the time. Also, with everything going on concerning the call it made me think.

He looks at his hand and makes fist and opens it a couple of times as he is jogging off field

Read Os lips and it seems to me like he said; “yeah I want to challenge it... he’s going to be out the first half of Alabama”

I kind of appreciate how quickly he understood that

1) Is there a rule that makes a ref force a guy off the field for bleeding? Is that a thing?

2) That’s bullshite. Watch the video. The ref escorting him to the sideline clearly points to his head twice.

It makes the whole thing smell even more. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them force the guy off the field even after being targeted unless he was legit hurt.

Wrong. Fitz wouldn't have shook him off if it was because his hand was bleeding. He shook him off like a boxer saying he was OK (i.e. his head).

Show me anywhere in that video that his hand was bleeding? He went to the sidelines sat one play and went right back in. I have not heard anything to that effect on this issue.

Fitz had blood on his hand. It’s mandatory to remove the blood off of a player before they re-enter a game.

Do officials do this for every targeted player? I have not seen this before.

Official was trying to help out our coach by telling him that our QB sucks and to put in the backup.

But our coach was such a dumbass that he put him back in the next play and he throws yet again another int.
