Alabama Crimson Tide star Malachi Moore was seen pushing his opponent's face into the ground on Saturday night. On Monday, he apologized.
Alabama Crimson Tide star Malachi Moore let his emotions get the best of him late in the team’s devastating loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday night. Moore was seen inexplicably shoving Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia’s head into the ground and later kicking the football in frustration. He earned an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for his latter actions.
Alabama lost the game 40-35 and suffered one of the biggest upsets in college football history. While Moore received criticism on social media, he offered an apology on Monday. 'I was completely out of line. I let the emotions of the game get the best of me and put myself before the team. As a two-time captain and a fifth-year player, I understand the standard that we are expected to live up to at Alabama, and I failed to do so by acting in a selfish and unacceptable manner.
We’ve have handled it, and I’m just going to say this about Malachi,' he said, via On3 Sports. 'What he did, he has gone above and in taking ownership in it. This is pretty much immediately after the game to this morning, things that are all prompted by him, but also part of just our conversation.'
