Why wasn't Cody flagged for removing his helmet?

How does Bama not get a misconduct penalty for having 50 players on the field before the play is dead.

Since it was blocked, the play isn't dead until the ball is touched again.

yes that should be a 15 yard penalty and a re-kick, yet another missed call by our SEC referees. FML

The ball didn't cross the line of scrimmage, and it was still a live play.

Cody yanked his helmet off as soon as the kick was blocked and was celebrating.

Should have been 15 yards and another opportunity for Lincoln to eff up.

Yep. I believe it should have been. Seconds were still on the clock and we kicked on 3rd down, so yeah...we should have had another try.

Game deciding screw-ups by SEC officials are ALWAYS in favor of Bama and the gators! It's Slives way of trying to get an SEC team into the National Championship game.

B/c no ref wants to be "that ref." The one who calls a post-big play penalty and causes the number 1 team, and gets criticized and death threats afterwards

But mainly noone's going to make that call on a number 1 team unless it's overly blatantly obvious/harmful

So as soon as the FG is blocked it is a change in possession? Or is it once the play is dead? Just asking cause I don't really know. You may be right, but the posession ? has to be asked to say wheter it would have mattered or not. Bottom line is there is no way Cody should have been allowed to block that kick!!!

The ball was rolling around at the line of scrimmage and the play wasn't dead. I hate to see a flag like that thrown, but looking at the replay, it looked pretty obvious.

It WAS blatant. It's as automatic as a roughing the kicker.....that runs to the sideline and flexes. Oh well, were coming for all of 'em. The Vols are coming. Genghis Khan style. Gators, Bammers and dawgs beware

everyone learn the rules...the play wasnt over...AND alabama recovered...so that means they would have gotten a 15 yard penalty and just kneeled it...

After the blocked kick, no one saw the ball and the referee was pointing it out the a bama player>>!!!!????? WTF was that? That bothers me more than the helmet. Btw Cody taking his helmet off would not be a change of possession, it would have been kicked again had the refs called it.

I am more concerned with the push that our line is giving up time after time on kicks.
