Alabama DB Flagged for Epic Meltdown in Waning Moments of Loss to Vanderbilt

The Alabama Crimson Tide suffered its most devastating regular season loss in years on Saturday, falling to the Vanderbilt Commodores, 40-35. And there was nobody more visibly upset about it than defensive back Malachi Moore, who went through an epic on-field meltdown in the last minute before getting flagged for kicking the ball away from officials.

After quarterback Diego Pavia ran for the game-ending first down with just over a minute remaining, Moore could be spotted on-screen acting quite unhappy as Vanderbilt's offense set up to kneel the ball. He appeared to throw his mouthguard in frustration, then screamed in the direction of his teammates. As Vandy snapped the ball and Pavia kneeled, Moore continued to pace and was visibly worked up.
