Of all 15 Alabama penalties Saturday, the one with the biggest impact moved the ball only a yard.
It came in the final minute of the first quarter when linebacker Dallas Turner’s hit ended the day of Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers. On first-and-goal from the two, the Longhorn passer jumped to throw the ball away just as Turner arrived. The hit drove Ewers shoulder first into the artificial turf, spraining his clavicle after a hot start to the game.
The roughing the passer flag flew in, moving the ball half the distance to the goal to set up Bijan Robinson’s touchdown run — the lone Texas trip to the end zone in a 20-19 Alabama win.“Honestly, it was no intent to hurt Quinn Ewers, honestly,” Turner said. “I feel like he’s a good quarterback, and I hope he has a very speedy recovery. But it was just a QB hit, and that’s how I looked at it. No intent to hurt him or nothing like that. No dirty play, nothing.
