“We turned the plays in. I’m sure the league office will look at it and make a determination,” Alabama Coach Nick Saban said. “There’s two things that are an issue here: targeting but you’re also not supposed to hit the quarterback in the head.'
Penalties were a discussion point following the Alabama-Tennessee marathon. The Crimson Tide set a record for a Nick Saban-led team and, to the ire of Alabama fans, a potential Tennessee targeting was reviewed and ultimately not flagged.
With less than 90 seconds to go before halftime, Bryce Young stepped up in the pocket looking for Kendrick Law downfield. The Vols’ 6-foot-4, 320-pound Omari Thomas met Young as he threw it and blasted the quarterback into another downed Tennessee defender. The rush helped limit Alabama’s two-minute drill, aTwitter predictably erupted when no penalty was called. Thomas appeared to lower his head and whack Young’s facemask with the front of his helmet.
