Yes, the SEC Commish is conducting an in-depth investigation to see how many sports writers and public back-lash occurs before determining the severity of the penalty or if they can just ignore the entire thing completely...
SEC is on top of this folks!
That replay seemed to be in slow motion, do we have it in regular speed? Slowing things down sometimes changes the interpretation of what happened. However upon initial review, it does not look good. But I must admit, I have heard numerous football players say that this type of eye gouging is pretty common place in dogpiles. Even heard of players dipping their hands in various substances to make the effect even worse. I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen more problems with this type of behavior than we have in terms of players being blinded, etc.
