Eh. Murray should technically be a defender and not a quarterback in that situation right? Was a blindside block with a big lineman's shoulder...which happened to be head level. Unnecessary roughness maybe, but I think debatable due to flip of possession and it was actually a block. Wouldn't have been surprised either way
That was clearly a hit on a defenseless player. I'll bet Slive doesn't suspend the Alabama player like he did earlier this year when he suspended the Ole Miss player for a vicious hit. Alabama will be protected. Slive needs to go, period.
As soon as the ball was intercepted Aaron Murray is free game. So, therefore he turns into a defensive player. He can be hit just like everyone else. It should of been a no call. The ref was right.

I am not so sure it's a cheap shot. That was after the interception, and it appears the Bama defender was still returning the interception, that makes the entire Georgia offense as defenders, and hitting on Murray is all fair game. My initial thought was the illegal block on the back foul by Bama, but it looks like the hit was from the side.
As far as unnecessary roughness goes, I am pretty sure NCAA rules prohibit any kind of "big hit" against the opponent who is "clearly out the play". I am not sure Murray is "out of the play" at that point. If he was trying to run down the returner, the hit looked fine to me.

Edit: I dislike GA about as much as I do Bama so I am kind of biased by being unbiased and kind of hope they all beat each other up (not implying serious injury)![]()
