🏈 Hand Injury- out for Tx A&M with MCL strain- may miss more

Anyone know what is wrong with Bozeman?

Maybe I have misinterpreted the reading of the rule or it is left to the subjectivity of the official, but there sure seems to be intent to injure on that "block".

also see the bolded inside the tackle box

"Subjectivity of the official" is where I see the answer found. In the tweet Reier sent out about the identical play earlier in the game (not true) you can see the DE in a three point stance, inside of the tackle box.

With Hand, I don't recall seeing his hand ever in the dirt. He looks like he's almost in the JACK role--standing up at the line of scrimmage but outside the box. To me, I'm thinking the official thought he was inside the box even if he was standing up.

(I've yet to watch the entire replay.)

To one thing there is no doubt: this type of blocking leads to injuries, often.

Does anyone know if Bozeman is hurt or in the Coach Saban house? I know he from here but I'm not that close to the family.

It was either Monday night or early yesterday morning I got a note stating he was expected to be ready to go Saturday.
