Not even a review of totally obvious targeting by Bama

Kind of officiating Lord Sankey will go to his grave defending

Thought the exact same thing. It was never even mentioned last night by announcers.

 

[Alto1]

Yea that was total BS!
If Sankey was seriously concerned about player safety, there should be repercussions from this. On field officials and replay officials need to answer for this!
Don’t let this be swept under the rug VN, Heupel, and Danny White!
Bring attention to this and let them know our player’s SAFETY will not be ignored!

I know I’ll get flamed for this but playing in the SEC sucks anymore.

Too much favoritism in this conference.

Oh, they mentioned it. They said that he launched and attempted but missed.

 

[VAVol85]

Officials checked with Nick - he said it was OK

 

[joevol33]

Oh, they mentioned it. They said that he launched and attempted but missed.

Yep, and refs didn't even care

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

It was a BS no call and completely caught the announcers off guard that it wasn't called.

Not that it will matter but Heupel needs to get that to the SEC offices.

 

[peerless98]

Sadly, they didn't even stop play to review it.

Then they missed an obvious PI late. They gave Bama player one HECK of a spot to extend a drive and the late him on Banks was a bad call too.

 

[allvol123]

Probable targeting. Saw it immediately.

Problem is Huepel’s offense moves too quickly to catch some things on review.

Well, 2 years ago, the replay officials wanted to review a play to determine if Jeudy fumbled (Fumble 6) the ball on the hit from Bituli. By the time Birmingham got through with the review, Bituli was tossed for targeting and Bama got an automatic first down on the 1 (which negated Jeudy's fumble)

 

[BearCat204]

This one was actually a poor missed call. Was pretty obvious that it should have been reviewed at least. Is this something that a HC can ask they look at for targeting if there is no flag thrown at all?

 

[ptcarter]

I don't have anything against Greg McElroy really, but as an ex UA quarterback, his "Crimson Privilege" bias is real. No way you are going to get him to say "wait a minute" and get the booth to replay it. I think the network should just take the homers out of the booth. Herbstriet for Ohio state, Pollack for Georgia (is he still around?), and the Palmers and others from Florida. Seems you'll never get that call against the Tide in their backyard. And I'd go one step further - If you went to school or played for them, you can't ref for them.

 

[TJVol95]

SEC loves the Tide. That’s a no call again Tennessee!!

 

[TJVol95]

I consider White a total Pu$$y If he doesn’t rise hell and get fined or something. Anything to stand up to the awful SEC refs!

 

[GameTime]

The guy did launch himself after the throw, and did hit Hooker in the face mask, but what the hell, it's Alabama, so no problem.

We get no respect...

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

If one of our players did that to Young it would have been targeting with an ejection and said Volunteer would forfeit any future NIL deals to him.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Then they missed an obvious PI late. They gave Bama player one HECK of a spot to extend a drive and the late him on Banks was a bad call too.

Yes...Banks was very iffy as well.

I dont buy into the refs missing holding on AL every play ( although they do get plenty of leeway) but there was some glaring issues again last night.

Sankey and company have zero integrity so I expect it to continue with no accountability for these officials.

 

[Manchester_Vol]

On one of Alabama’s last score the head linesman missed a false start. Our coach lite into him after the play, but the AL score held. Interesting is that this official called at least 3 false starts against us, but didn’t see the one right in front of him that the blind man in the stadium could see. Just another example of SEC biased officiating.

 

[utvols74]

move the SEC office out of F'in Birmingham

 

[AdoptedVOL]

Absolutely flagrant. Eyes down. Crown of helmet. Lurching/driving into the hit. I don’t complain much about refs and bad calls but that one was BAD (and a costly miss as I recall).

I’d just like to hear from the person responsible for that call why it wasn’t targeting,

 

[Fightmaker]

Far from the only thing those refs missed

 

[Memvol44]

Officials checked with Nick - he said it was OK

That was after Nick's aflac commercial...

It shouldn’t take the review official no time at all to say “we need to review this” on a hit such as that.
