i dont mean know all the detailed rules and such, but i would wager he knew that when team A recovers the ball, a dead ball penalty doesnt give it back to the other team.

he was mad and spoke without thinking, UT caught as many breaks as Alabama did Saturday, the late fumble from a guy who had never fumbled before, the no-call on teh PI with Julio in the endzone, etc...

i just feel that taking shots like that, is trying to lessen the win, and the effort put forth by alabama, and UT for that matter.
the game was not decided by the officials, the last play was ruled correctly, it just seems like he was trying to put a negative light on the alabama win IMO
