Right on the money, as usual.I was going to make a separate thread, but I'll put it here. What is this BS about Birmingham "concurring?" Are the reviews really taking place there? Do they have a control room with all the SEC-officiated games playing? I, for one, don't like it. It slows things enough already without the booth officials having to look over their shoulders to see if Shaw agrees. Is the next step for the Commissioner to be the final arbiter?
If the crew in Birmingham could not come to the correct decision on a blitzing DB planting the crown of his helmet on Jalen Hurts' facemask, then why do they exist at all?
As somebody else said, in the NFL, that would result in the player paying a stiff fine.
I'm just shocked that I heard no one mention the pretty obvious helmet to helmet contact. Danielson went on and on about the dumb cheap hit 30 yards upfield from #38 as he apparently scored, but dang, that helmet-to-helmet cheap shot was really dangerous.
Maybe that hit on Jalen occurred on a distant point of the field when no official were looking. (He was just a QB carrying the ball, I mean what official is supposed to be looking at him?)
