In the second quarter of Alabama vs. Texas last Saturday, Alabama linebacker Dallas Turner hit Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers hard enough for Ewers to leave the game with an injury.
On Tuesday, Turner explained that he wasn’t trying to hurt Ewers on the play.
“Honestly, it was no intent to hurt Quinn Ewers, honestly,” he said, via Nick Kelly of The Tuscaloosa News. “I feel like he’s a good quarterback, and I hope he has a very speedy recovery. But it was just a QB hit, and that’s how I looked at it. No intent to hurt him or nothing like that. No dirty play, nothing.”
