DeBoer Reacts to Tide's Red Morgan's Ejection for Targeting
Alabama lost a key defender after officials upheld the targeting call, and NCAA rules say first-time offenders are eligible for the next game.
- On Saturday, Alabama defensive back Red Morgan was ejected for targeting during the first half of the Crimson Tide's game against Texas A&M after officials upheld a penalty for his hit on Aggie quarterback Marcel Reed.
- Alabama faced significant personnel challenges entering the matchup, as cornerback Zabien Brown was ruled out with a leg injury sustained last Saturday and backup Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. served a suspension.
- Head coach Kalen DeBoer emphasized a "next man up" mentality, noting that sophomore Chuck McDonald will take over the cornerback role and the team must move players around.
- Texas A&M capitalized on a Keelon Russell interception just before halftime to kick a field goal, knotting the score at 17 heading into the break.
- Under NCAA rules, Morgan remains eligible for next week's game against LSU, as players only face suspension for targeting ejections if the infraction is their second or third.
