Safety shouldn't have counted - Ejection for roughing-the-passer instead

Maybe post the video instead of just posting still shots:



The play starts around 5:35. Keeley is engaged with Heard, and as he sheds him Heard gives him a shove from behind. Keeley stumbles while he's pursuing Aguilar and lands on him within a second of Aguilar hitting the turf. The first still shot is the literal instance Aguilar hit the turf, and Keely is already stumbling toward him.

lol…he lunges at him though…two full steps and falls on him. Officials just weren’t looking.

Looks like it should have been a penalty on the defense. Aguilar was clearly on the ground when the defender landed on top of him. Official was standing right there watching. Also, I didn’t notice until I just watched the replay that Alabama didn’t even cause the safety, Aguilar just tripped over an offensive lineman’s leg.

God knows we’ve been called for roughing on their and other team’s QBs for much less!!!

Yeah, Heard also grabs Keeley’s arms and flings them right at Aguilar’s helmet. So obvious.

Still factual though. We can all have bias, but the video presents the facts. 2 steps and a lunge.

I don’t even know what he’s thinking since a college player is down when he falls. Nothing to gain at all.

Aguilar hit the ground less than a second before Keeley hit him. I can't read Keeley's mind, but I have no trouble understanding that he was trying to keep upright while stumbling, trying to make a play, and didn't see the QB give himself up in any way. Processing all of that while also processing that the QB has hit the ground in less than a second is not terribly easy.

The Smith late hit is worth complaining about and absolutely deserved the flag. If you want to say it deserved a targeting ejection, I wouldn't argue. But this hit by Keeley is nothing and had no effect on the play. Those complaining just want something, anything that might erase a complete disaster on UT's part.

Sorry your team didn't get bailed out by a nothing burger that had zero impact on the result of the play.

Did you read the first sentence of the thread? You are making emotional arguments. Make some actual arguments from logic, if you’re able. Looks like a pretty dirty late hit to me.

No, it was not “less than a second.” I went through it frame by frame.

I posted the video for you since you were trying to use still shots to make a point in the hope that no one would watch in real time.

The pass had already hit the ground and bounced before JA got splashed

No, I hope everyone will watch the video. I saw it during the live replay and the video you posted doesn’t even show all the angles of the original broadcast. There are 4 angles of the play. I took the ones that was clearest for what I wanted to show. It’s even worse in real time watching that dirty hit .

No idea what your point is you’re trying to make. Just trolling?
