Who's defending it? Every Bama fan I have seen said it should have been 15 yards. All I heard from you guys regarding the Fairley hit was that Murray shouldn't be such a pussy.
Watch the video above and watch the one In this post. I'm sure you can see the difference.
Y'all keep holding your breath waiting on Dial to be suspended like Fairley was for part of the Iron Bowl.
Yep, spearing in the back should have gotten a flag between his eyes and penalized 15 yards!
The hit on the shin while Murray is standing like a statue watching the arch of a graceful pass down field to a gazelle like receiver and not protecting himself til the end of the play is stupid on Murray's part. Did it deserve a flag? Nope, standing statue still while 8 gorillas are pushing, shoving and falling all around you and not making any attempt to get out of the way does not justify a flag.
