Alabama followers usually are not comfortable a few hit on their star quarterback Bryce Younger throughout Saturday’s matchup in opposition to rival Tennessee.
Close to the tip of the primary half, Younger was blasted within the facemask by the helmet of 6-foot-4, 320 pound defensive lineman Omari Thomas. The Heisman-contending quarterback fell backwards and crashed into one other Tennessee defender on the bottom.
The play was reviewed for a possible focusing on penalty, however the officers finally dominated in opposition to it.
Check out the play here:
“That one had intent to harm actually. Ought to have been focusing on. That was textbook,” one fan wrote.
“Textbook focusing on….refs guess the home on Tennessee,” one other mentioned.
“100% Focusing on… I do not care what you say…” one other added.
If the play had been referred to as focusing on, Thomas would’ve been ejected from the sport and the Crimson Tide would’ve had a shot to shut the hole earlier than the half. As an alternative, Alabama heads into the half with an eight-point deficit.
Tennessee leads 28-20 on the break.
