“Alabama taking out another Texas QB because he was shredding their defense. 😤 Typical Alabama, can’t play toe to toe, they gotta play dirty. What happened to all those new rules to protect the QB? Because the rules don’t apply to Bama.”

Others didn’t think the hit on Ewers was dirty.
Very unfortunate play, but I don’t think it was dirty. May have not even been a penalty… #Alabama #Texas

Hate it for Ewers. Hit did not look dirty. He was dealing this first quarter! Hope he is good and can come back. #Texas #Longhorns #Bama #Alabama
