On the subject of officials: I saw both Oklahoma and Alabama issued penalties in which defensive players were originally ejected because of hits to the head. The replay officials then overturned the ejections but allowed the penalties. Commentators in both games seems to agree that the rule needs tweaking. How can a penalty stay if the replay official overturned the more egregious ruling?
(Yeah, I saw one of those as well...I was rootin’ against Alabama & I could see the Alabama guy didn’t target the player...and ‘twas an overreaction by the official...the reason why tho was the review process isn’t meant to correct a flag...otherwise, you’d get officials over-sensitive about having their flags reviewed)
A person can be civilly liable for another person’s death yet be not guilty of murder.
A less egregious ruling can overturn a more egregious ruling, but not the other way around.
