South Carolina’s Dylan Stewart threw a punch late in Saturday’s game against Alabama but was not ejected; he was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. The incident followed Alabama’s 10-play, 74-yard fourth-quarter drive, capped by Daniel Hill’s 1-yard touchdown run.
Alabama had led 35-3 before South Carolina scored the next 15 points. ESPN rules analyst Jerry McGinn said he was “extremely surprised” Stewart was not ejected, arguing the officials saw a blow to the head and Stewart should have been ejected immediately.
