this will be a huge issue in 2013. was listening to the discussion on sirius this morning with the sec head of officials. so with the clowney hit the ACC guy and a few others came out and said flag and ejection. the Fox Sports consultant, Pereira, said he wasn't too sure so he would have probably ejected him. So the SEC head of officials came on today and said 100% NOT a penalty. He then went on to say that they've now, after weeks of discussion, gained uniform consensus that a Clowney-like hit in 2013 will not be a penalty when 2 weeks ago it was. He said the confusion by the head of ACC officials, Pereira, and others was that it must be a defenseless player and there's no way you can be defenseless having the ball in your hands for that long (which i agree with, btw).
this won't be a lot of fun....
