Game Thread: Alabama vs. Ole Miss

[BlackSand]

Now that sucks even more ... If you call the penalty, then stick with it.
Why have the rule if it doesn't mean anything?

 

[Wild Turkey]

We're the only team that gets targeting fouls....

Auburn got one against Ark State.

 

[Clayton]

We're the only team that gets targeting fouls....

Mizzou has 2 so far this year.

Teams have a free 15yd penalty if they just keep targeting the middle because eventually WRs spinning around are going to have their head hit

Flag football

Dumbass refs!!!!!

 

[UNA Lion]

Stop! Don't do anything stupid.

 

[4down20]

stop these motherfuckers.

ND has one, and he was tossed...not much of a difference than what I just saw.

 

[Clayton]

Good to see the ejection overturned,

It is but by rule your player should be gone

 

[4down20]

Fuck yeah!

 

[Camfantasy]

The defender's only alternative was to stand up and get leveled.

Good to see the ejection overturned, but the penalty stands.

He really had no reason to hit him at all though. He had plenty of time and space to not have any contact with him at all.

 

[UNA Lion]

Turnover on downs - goose egg is protected!

They other guy lowered his head or he would have hit him where you make a tackle if he had caught the ball.

Talk some more shit Goldie Fucking Locks! "We can score points on anybody."

 

[phantomfoul88]

That was terrible

Yeah, and if the receiver catches the ball, he then misses a key tackle. Not buying it.

I'm still pumped by that last Ole Miss drive.

Is that the rule? If he lowers his head it does not count? I am not sure myself, just curious.

 

[Camfantasy]

The ball had been tipped out of bounds and was almost on the ground when he hit him though. There was no chance of them catching the ball at all when he hit him. I don't really think he maliciously tried to hit him in the head, just don't think there was any point in hitting him at all.

 

[UNA Lion]

Come on, offensive line!

 

[Gustave]

And if you run the ball to the left, there's no reason to block on the right?
