ESPN rules analyst calls out SEC officials for controversial penalty decision against Alabama
Alabama wide receiver Kendrick Law was called for a critical 15-yard penalty late in Saturday’s game against Tennessee. The foul backed Kalen DeBoer’s squad to a 4th and 22, making it a nearly impossible play to pick up when they needed it the most. But ESPN’s Matt Austin believes there should have been offsetting penalties on the call.
Law got into it with Tennessee defensive back Boo Carter, pushing him in the face. Austin, along with play-by-play announcer Sean McDonough and color commentator Greg McElroy, noticed Carter did swing back at Law but did not make too much contact. Even so, the trio believes a flag should have been called on Carter and canceled out the 15-yard call.
“I certainly think, in this case, offsetting fouls would have been appropriate,” Austin said. “He did get up, he did get right in his face. You don’t know what he was saying, you don’t know what if it was actually taunting or not. But in this situation, because there was a retaliation, I would have liked to see them offset.”
