It’s not fundamentally sound — he hits high, not low, and there’s no attempt to wrap him up — but as “ineligible personnel inexplicably and egregiously interfering with play” clips go, it’s a keeper.

The SEC claims it’s perfectly innocent, that the ref got crossed up in trying to get out of the way. I say: Check out that forearm action. Exit question: What happened here? And is it relevant that the ref used to be a linebacker for Kentucky?
