“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
