I was assuming he was referencing this play. I remember it like it happened yesterday. Blatant targeting right in front of a referee that quickly looked away so he didn’t have to throw the flag.
For Blaine McAvoy, it's at the 7:08 mark of the 1st quarter, and if you are denying that was targeting, were you the official that turned his head? Must have been.Somebody with commenting ability on SDS please take this video over there and put this Bammer in his place:

I remember this getting submitted to the SEC and nothing was done about it. I just don’t see how this is not classic targeting and a late hit.
That is a play that the replay booth can stop play and call the penalty from the booth. No way that should not have been reviewed upstairs and Moore ejected from the game. It's no wonder everyone thinks Sankey is in Saban's back pocket.Textbook launching with a dangerous hit to the underside of Hooker’s helmet. It happened right in front of a referee who was looking at that side of the play.
The dude launched upwards. He knew what he was doing. Of course the refs just let that happen. I remember a play a couple years ago where we sacked Bamas qb and our lineman put his hand on the qbs shoulder to help himself off the ground and the refs called that a flag.

“We went down to Alabama and it kinda speaks to the character of Hendon. He’s a guy who’s tough and cares so much about the team,” Mays said. “There was a play where it was a pretty blatant, he threw the ball and then it was kind of a later hit and it was more to the head area. It knocked like 4 of his teeth out. This was probably like the second quarter of the game or something. He continued on and played like he wasn’t even fazed at all. That was a cool story and kind of a testament of who he is.”Cooper Mays shares incredible story of Hendon Hooker getting his teeth knocked out vs. Alabama

It was Curt Jarvis. And he did go for the knee. When TR rolled over in pain, it was the loudest roar from the Legion Field scum of the day.
