Dylan Stewart flagged but not ejected after punching Alabama's Josh Ford

South Carolina edge rusher Dylan Stewart punched Alabama tight end Josh Ford in the helmet in the end zone after a touchdown put Alabama ahead 42-18 late in the fourth quarter on Sept. 26. Stewart was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct but stayed in the game.

ESPN rules analyst Jerry McGinn said on the broadcast that Stewart should have been ejected. Stewart was limited against Alabama while dealing with a back injury that had lingered from last season.
