You wouldn't have thrown the flag?

I'm okay with the flag. Just don't think there was any intent other than trying to make a play. It wasn't super late and he didn't really drive or spear the QB into ground. Just a bang bang play to my eyes.

That's how I saw it also. It was just a little late.
I agree. Getting hurt is an unfortunate possibility in football, but it was a clean hit to me. Go Vols!
I don't see how it can be roughing the passer and a clean hit at the same time, but that's ok. We aren't going to agree on everything. Yall can be wrong if you want to.

Looked to me like he grabbed the off arm to hold it in place while putting his whole weight on him. There was plenty of opportunity to not drive that shoulder into the ground the way he did, we see it every game. This was done to hurt him. But it is football, not tiddlywinks.
EXACTLY! And this guy is a thug. He did the same thing several times last year.
When I watched it the first time I thought no big deal, but then when I saw the slowmo a few times it was obvious to me that he grabbed that arm and held it against Ewers side while putting all his weight on him to the point he bounced off of him. He could have not done that easily in my humble armchair Purdue Boilermaker fan opinion.
The real question is can Joe Milton deliver the ball and not overthrow wide open WRs. This is my biggest question for the season.
reports suggest he looks pretty good, so lets hope that continues. That being said, he still has to show me for me to believe.
He was the dadgum MVP of the Orange Bowl for crying outside! Seriously though, I agree. He has to improve his accuracy. I think his no interceptions last year was really impressive but his accuracy was suspect. I'm optimistic. Like I say, I drank the kool-aid.

Like a big rig truck. Cannot stop on a dime. Once in forward motion like that his momentum just carried him into the play. rules are rules I get that but nothing malicious about it unless your a hater.

Everybody wants Bama to fall off their pedistle

Haters gonna hate. All I hear is how much they wish they were as good as ALABAMA
LOL. I have to admit that I also hadn't been gulping the Milton Kool-aide and just slowly sipping. I was looking at the Orange Bowl as having weeks to prepare to get Joe ready, blah, blah, blah.
So, I rewatched some of the highlights from the Vandy game last year, because I really didn't remember much, to see how Joe did with a short time prepare. His numbers weren't gaudy, but he made some great, precise middle distance throws that had to be on time to hit the receiver in stride.
I really think that Heupel has worked his mechanical flaws out of him for the most part. To me, I'll be 100% sold when the pocket is breaking down, and instead of throwing an iffy ball, he tucks it and runs. That is what made Dobbs so good, and held Guarantano back. Know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em.
What was so funny about this article is it wasn't opinions. It was fact based on people who were watching the scrimmages. I hope they have a QB quadmire that lasts all season.
How fast is Joe? I know he's built like a full back or tight end. One good thing is if he has to throw it away he can throw it to the upper deck from his back.
